Recipe 3 — Vegan Chocolate Muffins

Since muffins aren’t innately healthy, we did have to include at least one recipe that’s not quite so bad for you. The Healthy Vegan Chocolate Muffin is a great alternative. Each muffin is about 120 calories, which isn’t too bad for a muffin, really, especially considering that we’re talking chocolate here.
