Chocolate Microwave Muffins

This recipe is almost the same as the Moist Microwave pumpkin Muffin  that I have already featured... one step beyond.... with the addition of cocoa powder.  

It is a perfect way to get a chocolate fix with only a few calories and little fat.  It just cries out for a creamy topping and fresh fruit.
