Preheat oven to 180C and lightly spray 1 1/2 (large size) muffin trays with vegetable oil spray.

Sift flour, cocoa, drinking chocolate, artificial sweetener and baking powder into a large bowl. Repeat this sifting 2 more times.

Place all other ingredients, except for the choc bits, into a blender or mixing bowl and beat until smooth and well mixed. Stir the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the choc bits.

Spoon mixture into muffin trays (make 18) and bake for 15-18 minutes or until muffins just spring back when touched lightly.
