DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Double chocolate – these dense cake-like or brownie muffins are rich-tasting and absolutely addictively delicious. If you like your chocolate fix, this will surely help in that regard. We loved these and they didn’t last very long as a result!

The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience. For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively. Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1. There is another article and video here: Part 2.
