Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
By
I’m not sure if you are a chocolate lover like I am, but any recipe that has the words chocolate and chocolate written side by side makes me very happy and excited.
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sucanat
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup chocolate chips (I recommend these organic chips without soy lecithin, or these homemade chocolate chunks)
If you have some good quality coconut oil, I highly recommend using it in this recipe. The coconut flavor with the chocolate chocolate is SO GOOD.
Stir together dry ingredients. Mix in coconut oil, milk and egg. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop into 9-12 paper lined muffin tins. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Makes about 9 muffins. (I double the recipe for my family of six.)
You can also make this into a quick bread…just spread the batter into a buttered loaf pan and bake at 350° for 50 minutes!

I have used this recipe for two years and my family loves it. I am almost ready to try using the whole foods you suggest. That is a bit scary to me.
I want to thank you for the work you are doing here. You have been a great help to me as I’ve transitioned from a working mom to a stay at home mom. Your walk has inpired me! May God bless you ten fold.

I made these muffins and swapped out the cocoa for carob powder. They still came out great! My kids love them! Thanks for the recipe.

I just made a double batch using coconut flour & oil. I had to add extra milk as it was VERY dry/crumbly. After almost doubling the liquid, it is still pretty dry looking. I’m praying it will cook properly. This is my first attempt to make anything like this from scratch (other than banana or zucchini bread). I’m not sure if this is how it should be, or if I did something wrong. Any ideas??
BTW – it came out a crumbly mess from cooking also.

I should also say, I did melt the coconut oil before adding it in….

can I use unsweetened applesauce instead of the sweetener?

I haven’t tried that before so I’m not sure how it would work, but you could give it a try!
