Best 4 Healthy Deep Dark Chocolate Muffins Recipes
HEALTHY DEEP DARK CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
This is my recipe for a dark, deep, moist, intensely chocolate muffin. And it is actually healthy and high in fiber! I recommend using whole wheat pastry flour in this recipe, Bob's Red Mill make a great one. The pastry flour makes all of the difference in the world as well as the instant espresso which intensifies the chocolate flavor by leaps and bounds, enjoy!

HEALTHY DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
My husband loves to have a muffin as a mid-morning snack, so I came up with something a little healthier for him to take to work. You can use either mashed bananas or applesauce. The applesauce will give a more neutral flavor if you don't like the taste of bananas.

Tips:
