DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

My kids love Farmer’s Market brand double chocolate muffins. They are like giant chocolate cupcakes without frosting. So to celebrate their first week back to school, I decided to make them my own version. One that doesn’t have sugar as the first ingredient and has no preservatives. A double chocolate muffin that’s just made with simple everyday ingredients and love. I also wanted the muffins to be a little more substantial, so you don’t feel like you’re eating a fluffy cupcake for breakfast.

This recipe begins with flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. I used dutch-processed cocoa powder for a darker and bolder chocolate flavor. I used avocado oil as the main fat in this recipe for a healthier choice. I used just enough sugar to sweeten the batter and to balance the unsweetened cocoa powder. I added milk and sour cream for moisture, eggs for richness, vanilla for flavor, and chocolate chunks for double chocolate fun!

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
