Healthy Chocolate date muffins!!!

Chocolate Date Muffins 

I am definitely a chocolate lover and have recently been trying new recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth and I finally mastered one that I really like!!! It is made with dates and applesauce in replacement of all the butter and sugar, dates and applesauce work great because they are naturally sweet and do not have a distinct taste. These are made with buckwheat flour ( gluten free) which I love because it is naturally sweeter and has plenty of protein. With only 100cal a piece it makes it even better!! :) 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup buckwheat flour   
• 1/2 cup dates
• 6 tbs of coco powder
•  1/2 tsp baking powder 
• 1 tsp baking soda 
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp idolized sea salt ( regular salt, idolized salt is just healthier for you) 
• 1 1/2 cups of applesauce 
• 2 tbs of coconut oil ( or canola) 
• 1tsp vanilla 
•  1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 2-3 tbs stevia (or monk fruit sweetner, honey, or agave)

Preparation:

• First what you want to do it put dates into food processor ( or blender or mash them by hand until they are smooth) then add in large bowl.
• add all wet ingredients into bowl with dates.
• Then add in all dry ingredients.
• last you add the chocolate chips ( you can also melt the chocolate chips into the mixture to spread it and make it sweeter) 
• Taste the mixture to see if it is as sweet as you want it, if not add more stevia or whatever sweetener you are using. ( stevia and monk sweetener is a zero calorie food so you can add as much as is needed) 
• then bake 13-20 min in middle rack
• *optional top with peanut butter
