Double Chocolate Muffins

Nothing beats a good chocolate chip cookie or a super moist piece of chocolate cake. But neither of these two things are appropriate choices for breakfast (unfortunately)! So I turned to the next best thing: Muffins. They make for a wonderful breakfast treat or a great afternoon snack. When I set out to create the recipe for these muffins, my goal was to make a muffin packed with flavor that tastes incredibly delicious but without all the guilt. This is a lightened-up version, that you can feel good about eating and gets you off to a great start in the morning. I hope you love them as much as I do! I made it multiple times until I got it just right, but the good news is that it’s still somewhat customizable. For example, I used all-purpose flour, but you could easily swap out half the flour for whole wheat or any other flour you prefer. It works like a charm. You can totally make it your own, and it still turns out great every time!

Flour: I have used all purpose flour and also whole wheat flour in this recipe before! Oats: The oats add that hearty element that means that these muffins will be filling! Granulated Sugar: This is just enough sugar to sweeten them up without being overwhelmingly sweet. Baking Powder and Baking Soda: These two ingredients will leaven the muffins (help them rise) and get nice and fluffy! Salt: The enhances all of the flavors in the muffins. Cocoa Powder: If you want chocolate muffins then you need some cocoa powder! Egg: The egg will help to bind the batter. Canola Oil: The oil helps add moisture to the muffins. Honey: A natural sweetener so that you can use less sugar. Vanilla Extract: This adds enhanced flavor.Milk: I used skim milk in this recipe. Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet work the best!

How to Make Homemade Muffins

Making a healthier double chocolate muffin was tricky, but I did it! You don’t lose out on any flavor, and the texture is absolutely amazing! .

To Freeze: Place the cooled muffins in a sealed airtight container or ziplock bag and label it with the date! Put the bag in your freezer and they can stay frozen for up to 3 months! When you are ready to eat one then thaw it at room temperature. To Reheat: Pop the muffin in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Enjoy!

Line an airtight container (or ziplock bag) with a paper towel. Place the muffins in the container and close it up. These can be stored on your counter for up to 4 days!
