Delicously easy and healthier grain free rich chocolate mini muffins.

Need a little something sweet? Try these vegan paleo chocolate muffins! Their small size is just right for satisfying that chocolate craving!

You know how it is when you’re craving something chocolatey, but you don’t want to go crazy with your sugar intake? The other day I was in the mood for something with a nice chocolate taste, but I wanted to make it refined sugar-free.

These paleo chocolate muffins satisfied my craving, and are super easy to make, and moderately healthy, I would say. They’re grain and refined sugar-free, and both paleo and vegan.

It’s important that you use a very ripe banana for this recipe, because the maple syrup is not a strong sweetener. These are moist, flavorful, chocolatey, and moderately sweet. Also, the cute tiny size makes them very poppable. Like if you walk by a plate of them, it is super easy to pop one in your mouth until you realize you’ve eaten about 5 or 6 of them. Oops.

    Can I use a different flour other than almond meal? I’m thinking an all purpose gluten free or coconut flour. I have an intolerance to almonds.
