I got this recipe off the WW boards--Thanks Gratefuldaisy!
 
2 cups flour
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 can (1 pound) pear halves packed in juice, undrained
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
Topping:
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp quick cooking oats
1 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
 
To make the topping combine oats, cocoa and brown sugar; stir to mix well. Add honey and stir until mixture is crumbly; set aside. Combine flour, cocoa, brown sugar and baking powder and stir to mix well. Pour pears and juice in blender and puree until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups of pear puree to the flour mixture (reserve remaining puree for another use). Add the egg whites and vanilla, stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Coat muffin cups with nonstick spray. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Sprinkle a rounded spoonful of topping on top of each muffin, press lightly. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
