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. I hope you love them as much as we do!
