So good, I don’t even feel bad about giving these for breakfast!
I unapologetically love chocolate. Especially dark, roasty, not-too-sweet, super-chocolate chocolatey things. Real cocoa and cocoa-loaded dark chocolate are high in good-for-you antioxidants, so what’s not to love?
These muffins are the perfect balance of substance and indulgence. Composed mostly of good-for you ingredients (oat flour, eggs, good quality butter, plain yogurt, cocoa powder) with just enough of the less stellar (white or gluten free flour, sugar, chocolate chips) to make them a treat.
My girls are ecstatic when I make these for breakfast or brunch on the weekends, and since they have a solid nutritional foundation, I really don’t feel guilty about it!
