These delectable chocolate muffins are made with both raw cacao powder and mini dark chocolate chips. They are rich, moist and satisfying, without mentioning healthy. They are not your traditional muffins. These ones are flourless so there is no gluten or grain in these muffins. I use coconut flour. A little goes a long way. In the recipe, for 12 muffins, I use only 1/2 cup of coconut flour. It’s pretty amazing. It’s also economical. Coconut flour is more affordable than almond flour. I personally use Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour.

These muffins would be considered paleo. When using coconut flour in muffins, you will need to use eggs as well. I always use fresh pastured eggs. Talking of eggs, there’s no need to buy vegetarian eggs, unless you are vegetarian yourself and refuse that the chickens ate bugs. Thing is, chickens aren’t vegetarians so it’s normal for them to eat whatever they find in nature. You can buy organic, pastured eggs in health food store or at your farmers’ market.

There’s organic peanut butter in the recipe (don’t buy the commercial one, it’s packed with additives and ingredients you don’t want to eat). If you or a family member is allergic, try almond butter or a nut seed butter like sunflower.

If you have kids at home and you want to bake a healthy treat for them that they will like, try this recipe. It’s chocolaty and healthy. It’s the kind of muffin that can be eaten for breakfast without any guilt.

Enjoy!
