Double Chocolate Muffins

Do you love chocolate but feel like you have to avoid it in order to support your health and weight loss goals?

Yes not only are they double the chocolate, they boast some nutrient dense ingredients and thanks to a few healthy swaps they're actually even richer and creamier than the store bought kind!

4. In a small bowl whisk together egg, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, vanilla, brown sugar and well mashed banana. Blend well.
