You guys.  I keep finding recipes that blow my mind and this….this recipe.  Oh my word.  I ate 2 1/2 muffins the first day.  I wanted to eat the whole damn batch they were so good.  But I refrained…..barely.  The chocolate-y goodness kept calling my name.  I was even planning a second batch for the hubs to take to work the following day but we were short one egg.  

In my quest for an amazing chocolate muffin recipe I had many failures along the way.  My last failure was way too dry and just soaked up all the moisture in your mouth.  No one wants an overly dry muffin. Yuck!  I knew I wanted something a bit healthier for my chocolate muffin and this recipe does not disappoint.  It’s super easy to make (read: no mixer required) and combines some of my favorite healthy baking ingredients.

I love when I can take a recipe and make it a bit healthier.  I honestly love baking with applesauce and Greek yogurt.  They help keep the muffins moist and light. With these muffins you don’t feel gluttonous having more than one.  And they are so gooey with the chocolate chips.  MMMM…..

So much chocolate goodness and about as healthy as you can make a muffin, without it being bland. 

What was that Lays potato chips saying?  Bet you can’t eat just one!  Well, same goes for these double chocolate muffins.  Bet you can’t eat just one! Enjoy!

    These look amazing! Muffins are so dangerous for me to make because I end up eating WAY too many myself 🙂

    Even if these were just chocolate muffins, I would be down. But throw skinny into the mix, and I think I need to make some for breakfast! These look so good! And I wouldn’t feel as bad eating more than one!!

    Anything that looks that delicious AND has the word skinny in the name, I am so down.
