But these aren’t your average muffins.
Typical chocolate muffins are made with inflammatory wheat flour and loaded with processed sugar. That means they will sabotage your weight loss and ruin your health.

Made with almond flour, coconut milk, grass-fed butter, and MCT powder, these decadent chocolate muffins are full of healthy fats.
These muffins are perfect as a low-carb dessert or a midday snack.
