Love almond butter? You also might like these Almond Butter Cookies!

These might look like your average chocolate muffin, but trust me when I say these are anything but ordinary! I love, love easy healthy muffins recipes but was seriously lacking a good chocolate muffin recipe.

These Chocolate Almond Butter Muffins have fulfilled all my healthy muffin dreams. They are light, moist and full of healthy fats and protein.  I don’t feel bad one bit giving my kids one of these for breakfast chocolate and all!

I had a hard time deciding what to call these muffins because they are grain-free, refined-sugar-free, dairy-free and paleo. That would make a pretty long title so healthy chocolate muffins it is!

I like to keep my freezer well stocked with things like homemade waffles and healthy muffins for easy snacks and breakfasts.

I also love these muffins because they are so easy to make! They are made with easy-to-find ingredients and only take 1 bowl and 30 minutes to make.I am definitely one to get the occasional (or frequent!) chocolate cravings and these muffins totally hit the spot. For another healthy recipe try these toddler muffins. I hope you love them as much as we do!
