If you’re into dark, dark chocolate like me, then you’re going to love these. Incredibly low in sugar and only sweetened with a banana and some crushed dark chocolate.
I LOOOOOOOVE dark chocolate. So much. Soooooo much. If you’re into it as much as I am and you’re trying to limit or reduce your sugar intake, these muffins are a yummy option.
The reason why these are low sugar and healthier is that they’re only sweetened with a ripe banana (my favorite natural sweetener!) and crushed dark chocolate. No other sweeteners involved!
These muffins are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free – just be sure to use the right chocolate with no cane sugar or dairy. With these specific muffins, I used a Hu Kitchen Simple Dark Chocolate Bar crushed up. Hu Kitchen is honestly one of my favorite brands for chocolate bars – super clean ingredients (no dairy, no cane sugar, etc.) and SO DANG GOOD.
