Ever wish you could savor rich, super chocolatey muffins that weren't loaded with tons of calories but not sacrifice taste and texture? I give you these amazing Super Healthy Fudgy Double Chocolate Muffins!
These muffins taste like cupcakes!!! You won't miss any frosting if they were!
These Super Healthy Fudgy Double Chocolate Muffins recipe are pretty versatile.
They're rich in chocolate flavor. Firm, yet super moist by using applesauce and olive oil.
No banana involved, like these. However you could substitute banana or Greek Yogurt for the applesauce.
You could change up the flour. We used whole wheat flour, but other flour options you can use is gluten-free flour or all-purpose flour 1 for 1.
I love using olive oil, but I also like to use canola, but melted coconut oil or butter could also be options.
Add some flax seed, chia seeds or some chopped nuts for extra protein.
For even more richer chocolate taste, add some coffee extract or use a dark chocolate cocoa powder or use a couple of tablespoons of black cocoa powder.
I can't believe how healthy these are.
It makes me want to eat the whole pan, even more knowing they are healthy!
That's why we have freezers. 🙂 You can freeze these up to 3 months.
Take them out as needed and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee! YUM!
