These chocolate chip muffins should come with a warning! They are so incredibly tasty, you'd never know there is NO refined sugar in them {well, except for maybe a tad in the mini chocolate chips, but trust me as your best friend...THEY ARE WORTH IT!} In fact, those sweet little mini chips were the foundation of this recipe idea, ha!
When I was craving something chocolatey and fudgy (hello, brownie lover here!) a couple of weeks ago, but didn't want to completely wreck my macros for the day, I dreamed up these sweet little treats, and man they have been a HIT for all! They are easy to whip up for quick grabs for the kiddos on those busy mornings, or a sweet treat for mama with her coffee.
What You'll Need...
One of my favorite things about this chocolate chip muffins recipe is that it uses minimal ingredients (like most of my recipes!) Each ingredient is a pantry staple at our house, and I bet your's too. Grab these things pictured plus 2 eggs, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and gluten free flour (I use Bob's gluten-free 1:1 flour)
Watch me make them...
Now, go whip you up a batch and I dare you to come back and tell me these aren't some of the best healthy-ish muffins you've ever had! And be sure not to leave out the best ingredient (the chocolate chips, duh!) because they really do take these muffins to the next level...ask me how I know. If you give these a try, be sure to tag me on Instagram @lisa.m.coop and let me rejoice with you!
