Clean eating double chocolate muffins

These muffins are moist and soft and so chocolaty. Quick and easy to make these muffins are great for any occasion, there so versatile as well.

If you haven’t guess already I am the biggest chocolate fan their is! I will eat it with pretty much anything and on pretty much anything. My motto, ‘the chocolatier the better’, so these muffins are perfect, they are quite rich and dark but the maple syrup helps sweeten them up and adds a deep taste that is so perfect!

The chocolate chips in these muffins also add to the deep taste that is created. Along with them tasting totally fantastic, they are so diverse and you can shape them to whatever you need. You can totally make these into mini muffins for a more child friendly audience or if your feeling daring put them into larger cases to create mega muffins!
