Cafe Style Double Chocolate Muffins

With the cooler weather upon us it is only natural that I am back to baking and of course that means chocolate.

These are absolutely heavenly. Straight out of the oven, gooey melted chocolate with just a hint of coffee, perfection.

They are also filled with wholegrain oats, antioxidant filled cacao and made without any oil or refined sugar. Really I can’t see why anyone would make the white flour refined sugar free kind of treat when you can make something as simple as these muffins with added health benefits!

You could definitely add in some nuts or even mashed banana to the mix, but they are pretty dang magical on their own.

Just quietly, I bet one of these straight from the oven would be pretty amazing with some coconut ice cream….just saying.
