This recipe was adapted from Ambitious Kitchen. I adjusted it because there were a few ingredients that I liked a little better. Just my preference! 🙂
REALLY THOUGH. These should be a sin to eat, but they’re NOT. These are THE BEST muffins I think I’ve ever made, and they also happen to be THE HEALTHIEST muffins I’ve ever made. Uh-mazing!

- 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white

INSTRUCTIONS
