Somedays I just want to sit on the floor and do nothing but eat peanut butter

with the occasional cup of coffee thrown in for good measure.

Today was one of those days.

Thankfully my family is totally ok with this  . . .

So sweet, invisible internet friend of mine that is exactly what we are going to do today.

Today, we are going to get our peanut butter on in the most incredible, decadent, indulgent (yet healthy) way possible . . .

Today we are making ourselves some tiny but mighty, Flourless Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Muffins

Yep, you read that right, double chocolate peanut butter mini muffins!

Holla!!!!!

Today I give you a double dose of dark chocolate, for the antioxidants of course 😉  all in the name of good health right?!

Right!

I should warn you, these double chocolate peanut butter muffins are intense! They are dark and decadent bites of deliciousness studded with cheeky little chunks of dark chocolate chips and the perfect little hint of peanut butter.

These little muffins are the stuff dreams are made of!

They are dark and rich but because they are flourless they also happen to be super light and just melt in your mouth. They are not very sweet at all. Like not really sweet at all! They are tiny but mighty my friend. Two bites of dark, decadent, deliciousness, and I can not get enough!

Especially when you finish them with a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter and an extra sprinkling of chocolate chips . . .

don’t look at me like that, you know you want some of this.

Now, I told you these  double chocolate peanut butter muffins are healthy are they totally are. Made with no refined flours or sugars, sweetened naturally with a splash of vanilla and some maple syrup and lets not forget the double dose of antioxidants we get from our dark chocolate chips and the dark chocolate cocoa powder (or cacao). Yep, you’re welcome 🙂

I made these bad boys using PB2* which is basically just peanuts that have been ground down into a fine powder, if you don’t have any on hand you could sub for regular peanut butter (or almond butter to for my paleo friends), just leave out the 1/4 cup of water and you should be good.  

All natural double chocolate peanut butter mini muffins, dark, decadent, seriously indulgent but secretly healthy . . . 

Something you can feel good about eating and feeding to your friends, family and loved ones

What are you waiting for?

Grab yourself a big ol’ glass of ice cold milk and go make these muffins already!!

You know you wanna

Make them, eat them, love them

Flourless Double Choc Peanut Butter Mini Muffins
Makes approx 24 intensely rich, dark, decadent, double chocolate dangerously moorish mini muffins with the perfect hint of Peanut Butter

Ingredients –

1 egg

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 Tablespoon of coconut oil, melted and cooled sightly

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup of PB2 peanut flour (can sub regular PB just omit the water)

1/4 cup cocoa power (I use extra dark)

1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

pinch of salt flakes

2 Tablespoons of dark chocolate chips, roughly chopped

Optional –

1 extra teaspoon of peanut flour mixed with a little water to make a pretty peanut butter swirl (or an extra teaspoon of regular PB)

Method –

1 – Preheat oven to 175’C (350’F) and line a mini muffin tray with paper cupcake cases and set aside. You could  skip the paper cases and grease/flour your muffin tray if you prefer. Do what you feel 😉

2 – In a large bowl whisk together egg, maple syrup, vanilla, coconut oil and water (or regular peanut butter if using) until well combined.

3 – Sift your peanut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and instant coffee into your egg/maple mix and stir to combine.

4 – Add your chocolate chips and stir until almost combined – try not to over mix

5 – Spoon batter into your prepared muffin tray (I use approx 2 teaspoons per mini muffin).

6 – For the pb swirl simply dip a toothpick into your extra PB2 (or regular PB) and carefully draw a pretty little pattern on top of each muffin

7 – Bake for 7-10 mins until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick has just a few crumbs attached when inserted into the centre.

8 – Allow to cool in the muffin tray before transferring directly into your mouth  to a wire rack to cool completely.

9 – Feel free to dollop with a big ol’ spoonful of PB2 (or regular PB) and an extra sprinkling of chocolate chips before serving . . . you know if you want

Enjoy xoxo
