Healthy Chocolate Muffins

Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring! I love taking classic recipes, and turning them into a healthy, protein packed treat. If you like chocolate you’re going to love our healthy chocolate muffins! They’re sweetened with mashed banana and made with chocolate chips and cocoa powder to make them extra chocolatey and delicious. Make it with me!

These muffins are double chocolatey! They are made using cocoa powder and chocolate chips! I sweeten this recipe with bananas, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. You can also choose to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the muffin batter for an extra protein boost!

I like to bake these muffins straight in the tin. You are welcome to use muffin liners if you would like! Just make sure to grease the pan and the muffin tins if you choose. My favorite cooking spray is the Kirkland brand from Costco!

Healthy Poppy Seed Muffins

One of my favorite muffin flavors is poppy seed! I decided to turn that delicious flavor of muffin into a healthy option! These muffins are made with whole wheat flour, mashed bananas, cinnamon, and poppy seeds. Plus, you can add additional protein powder to give it an extra boost! Make it with me!

These muffins are healthy and delicious! Plus, they are super easy to make. All the ingredients in this recipe are made with nutritional ingredients that make the muffins super flavorful and extra yummy!

For this recipe, I used whole wheat flour. You can use any flour alternative that you have on hand! Coconut flour, almond flour, or even regular all purpose flour will do. Same goes for the coconut sugar. You can also substitute splenda, honey, or sugar in the raw.

Adding bananas to this recipe give the muffins extra moisture! The banana flavor is not super strong.
