Hello my loves,
School parties, bday parties etc. There are lots of reasons for a healthier treat. These healthier chocolate muffins are easy to throw together and don’t sacrifice flavor!
They are rich, chocolatey and moist. Exactly what I want from a chocolate muffin. The monk fruit sweetener has a lower glycemic index (zero!) and is a pretty even swap 1/1 for white table sugar. If you’d like to try it with all monk fruit sweetener you can however the texture will come out a little different. Not quite as soft but will still taste yummy!
