These muffins are really easy to make and are only 116 calories each! I used pastry flour as a base, sweetened them with brown sugar and chocolate, and kept them moist with a mix of coconut oil and applesauce. SEE? Not so bad. Little muffins like this are the best because they’re great grab-and-go snacks, and they freeze incredibly for later. I like to throw a little extra sugar on top before baking to give them a little added crunch.
