These double chocolate muffins are a healthier choice than some others you may find out there! They are still packed with delicious ingredients, and the chocolate flavor will blow you away. If you like to make sure that you are making a healthier choice for your breakfast, then try out these protein bars, this homemade oatmeal, or this delicious smoothie!

Double Chocolate Muffins

Nothing beats a good chocolate chip cookie or a super moist piece of chocolate cake. But neither of these two things are appropriate choices for breakfast (unfortunately)! So I turned to the next best thing: Muffins. They make for a wonderful breakfast treat or a great afternoon snack. When I set out to create the recipe for these muffins, my goal was to make a muffin packed with flavor that tastes incredibly delicious but without all the guilt. This is a lightened-up version, that you can feel good about eating and gets you off to a great start in the morning. I hope you love them as much as I do! I made it multiple times until I got it just right, but the good news is that it’s still somewhat customizable. For example, I used all-purpose flour, but you could easily swap out half the flour for whole wheat or any other flour you prefer. It works like a charm. You can totally make it your own, and it still turns out great every time!

Ingredients in Healthier Double Chocolate Muffins

To get a somewhat healthier version of a chocolate muffin, I had to lighten up on the sugar and fill it in with other ingredients! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Flour: I have used all purpose flour and also whole wheat flour in this recipe before! Oats: The oats add that hearty element that means that these muffins will be filling! Granulated Sugar: This is just enough sugar to sweeten them up without being overwhelmingly sweet. Baking Powder and Baking Soda: These two ingredients will leaven the muffins (help them rise) and get nice and fluffy! Salt: The enhances all of the flavors in the muffins. Cocoa Powder: If you want chocolate muffins then you need some cocoa powder! Egg: The egg will help to bind the batter. Canola Oil: The oil helps add moisture to the muffins. Honey: A natural sweetener so that you can use less sugar. Vanilla Extract: This adds enhanced flavor.Milk: I used skim milk in this recipe. Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet work the best!

How to Make Homemade Muffins

Making a healthier double chocolate muffin was tricky, but I did it! You don’t lose out on any flavor, and the texture is absolutely amazing! .

To Freeze: Place the cooled muffins in a sealed airtight container or ziplock bag and label it with the date! Put the bag in your freezer and they can stay frozen for up to 3 months! When you are ready to eat one then thaw it at room temperature. To Reheat: Pop the muffin in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Enjoy!

Line an airtight container (or ziplock bag) with a paper towel. Place the muffins in the container and close it up. These can be stored on your counter for up to 4 days!
