Vanilla, Coconut, Chocolate Muffins

Choc muffins

Lately I seem to be on a chocolate and coconut kick. I’ve been putting them in everything from yogurt to pancakes and now I tackled muffins. I’m not too much of a baker but it was a rainy dreary day, I decided to make these along with the lasagna I put in for the kids dinner. (Which by the way I subbed the Ricotta Cheese and used blended down Garbanzo beans to make a paste instead! Cuts out the bad fat, real with the good fat and still enjoy comfort foods with out all the guilt!!) So if you need a chocolate fix and one that doesn’t leave too much guilt. These are your muffins!!

Makes 20-24 muffins

Ingredients:

  • 2 Organic eggs
  • 2 Cups Coconut flour
  • 3 Tbsp Cacao Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Gluten-free baking soda
