ingredients

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
³⁄₄ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sea salt
²⁄₃ cup prune, pureed
1 tablespoon stevia
1 cup soymilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
¹⁄₄ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange extract
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated orange peel

directions

Melt the chocolate in the microwave (1 minutes high heat) or my preferred way - a makeshift double broiler (boil some water in a small sauce pot, put a small saute pan over the sauce pot, lower heat, add chocolate, stir occasionally with a plastic spatula until melted ), let cool.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa, set aside.
Whisk together wet ingredients (prunes through orange extract) until foamy, add orange peel. Add wet ingredients to dry and combine. Fold in melted chocolate.
Line 16 (or possibly more) muffin tins with cupcake liner. Pour batter in, filling cup 3/4 of the way.
Bake at 350 20-25 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
