Tips:

 

Healthier Double Chocolate Muffins

• Flour Swap: Use whole wheat flour or oat flour instead of self-rising flour for added fiber.
• Sweetener Alternative: Replace white and brown sugar with honey, maple syrup, or a zero-calorie natural sweetener.
• Healthy Fats: Swap oil for Greek yogurt, coconut oil, or mashed avocado to keep them moist while reducing fat.
• Milk Choice: Use almond milk or low-fat milk for a lighter option.
• Boost Protein: Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder to make them fuller.
• Chocolate Chips: Opt for dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a healthier chocolate fix.
