Many readers of my blog told me or, messaged me that they made the muffins with 3 chocolates and were very pleased. This made me very happy and because I want to do my best, I have prepared a recipe for sugarless chocolate muffins, without butter, for even healthier chocolate treat!
These muffins are a pure temptation! It is so fragrant and chocolaty that you cannot believe is so healthy. Adding dried blueberries is an amazing fit and perfectly complements the chocolate flavor. The blueberries I buy from the center of Athens have no sugar added during the process of desiccation. They are juicier than usual and more fragrant.
The recipe I give you yields 12 medium size muffins. Because I like me very fluffy, I put more mix in each muffin paper, and I got 8 of them. You only need two bowls to make these muffins, not a mixer, and a lot of patience until they are cool enough to eat!! 🙂
