Yummy Chocolate Muffins!

Grain-Free Chocolate Chunk Muffins (courtesy of Emily @ Joyful Abode)

I made these a couple of weeks ago to satisfy a craving for something sweet. They were quite easy to make and turned out really well. Great snack to keep in the fridge and grab on the go!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Throw in the stand mixer (or mix with an electric hand-mixer):

  • About a cup of nut butter (almond, peanut, macadamia, whatever)
  • 3 eggs
  • About 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1 very ripe banana (I didn’t even bother cutting it up – the mixer did a good job pulverizing it)
  • 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • Then when everything else is combined, about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice

Fill oiled muffin tins about 2/3 full with the batter and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
