These muffins are like little bites of chocolate heaven! This is coming from someone who really does not like mini muffins.
I know? Weird right? I LOVE muffins. The real kind. Big, fluffy, hearty muffins.
I just really cannot stand mini muffins though. They are just so small!
One bite. Done. That is just not gonna do it for me. I need more.
I desperately need more than one bite.
But these muffins! These muffins are different. That one (maybe two) bite(s) are so rich and delicious that it is more than enough when you are done. I really did not need more than one muffin.
That is not to say I didn’t want another muffin. I always want another muffin.
The best part? These taste like the most decadent dessert, but actually have no flour or refined sugar. You may be a convert to mini muffins after trying these too. You may never have to bake a full sized muffin again.
Basically what I am telling you is that if you want that second mini muffin, go for it!
