Mini Chocolate Muffins taste like soft rich chocolate cake in one bite 👌

These muffins are the real MVP when you wanna eat dessert with every meal but you’re not feeling exactly ready to gain “the Covid 19” yet 😬 (I am, I’ve been ready since the first time I heard the word “quarantine”).

Here’s what you do: Keep them frozen, take one out before you start your meal and the one bite chocolate heaven has thawed by dessert o’clock.

Of course you can also eat 4-5 of them as a workout snack, so you know, they got that goin for them too. I wasn’t going to workout today but… I could be convinced!

Let me know if you give these a try!

1 flax egg, or regular egg beaten
1/2 cup applesauce (120g) sub mashed banana
1 tbsp oil (15 g)
3 tbsp sugar (36 g) sub granulated sweetener
3 tbsp cocoa powder (18 g)
1/2 cup flour (60 g) gf all purpose if desired
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (15 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a mini muffin pan with liners and spray with oil.

Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
Combine the two by folding (dont overmix).
Scoop into mini muffin cavities, sprinkle chocolate chips.
Bake 15 min, cool and enjoy!

Notes

To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
Make sure to spray your muffin liners with oil because the muffins are low-ish fat and they will stick to your liners like superglue.
You can also make 6-8 regular sized muffins from this recipe. Bake those for 20-25 minutes.
