Healthy Chocolate Muffins (That Taste Like Brownies!)
These deliciously healthy chocolate muffins are by far the best thing I've eaten in a while! Made with cacao, Greek yogurt, almond flour and a natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup), these healthy whole food muffins taste just like a decadent brownie. They're perfect for a fast breakfast or healthy dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup grass-fed butter, ghee, or unrefined organic coconut oil, melted, then cooled
- 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder
- 1/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and very lightly spritz a 12 cups silicone muffin tray with oil of your choice (I used avocado oil spray).
- In a large bowl, stir together your room temperature eggs, honey, yogurt, vanilla, and the melted then cooled butter.
- In a second bowl, whisk the baking powder, almond flour, and cacao powder until combined.
- Add your dry mixture over the egg mixture and stir just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Divide your batter equally among your 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or just until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool before serving.
