Next week is Valentine's Day!
Even though my husband and I don't really celebrate the day (and we both work late this year), I'll use any excuse to make something festive. The most festive thing I know for Valentine's day are the colors red and pink--which so happen to be the colors of my favorite fruit! And what else comes to mind when someone says Valentine's day? Chocolate. So, why not use them both?
These muffins are healthy enough to eat for breakfast, but the chocolate adds enough sweetness to eat them for dessert too! You could easily replace the raspberries with bananas if berries aren't your thing (like my husband). Or you could even use blueberries or strawberries, although you may need to add in a bit more almond flour to balance out the water content of those fruits.
These are so quick and easy to make, and definitely worth the 30 minute time commitment. Let me know if you give these a try. Enjoy!
