If you’re more of a visual learner here’s a creepy Halloween special video that features this recipe:
Ingredients you’ll need for these Berry-filled Healthier Chocolate Muffins:
Strawberries and raspberries – for a zesty and sweet filling.
Cacau em pó – not cocoa powder, that usually has added sugars.
Backyard eggs – although we eat mostly plant-based, we still eat some backyard eggs from time to time. As long as the chickens are happy, we’re happy!
Banana – these muffins are perfect for using bananas that are overripe to avoid wasting.
Instant coffee – that I love to add to chocolate recipes to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Vanilla extract and a syrupy sweetener like honey, maple or agave.
Unsweetened bebida vegetal – preferably oat, soy or almond for their neutral flavor.
Farinha de aveia and/or farinha de trigo integral and/or farinha sem fermento.
