For an extra fudgy texture, try using melted butter instead of margarine.
If you don't have applesauce, you can substitute with mashed banana or plain yogurt.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
