Finding healthy muffins is impossible because regular muffins are made from unhealthy flours (and unhealthy chocolate).
Fortunately, it is possible to put a healthy spin on this by using healthy flours such as almond flour or coconut flour.
In this recipe I teach you how to make healthy muffins from almond flour and chocolate!

I personally like these muffins a lot more with almond flour because it gives the muffins a nut-like taste. You can certainly also use coconut flour. In terms of nutritional values, it is even healthier than almond flour.
So it comes down to your personal preference.
Of course, you can also replace the chocolate in this recipe with fruits such as blueberries or banana. Whatever you feel like!
You could even make them 'savory' by adding savory ingredients like bacon or veggies. Although that is not my favorite way to make them.
Whatever you decide to do with this recipe, it will always be a success. And other people will not realize that it is a low-carb muffin.
So you will enjoy (by stabilizing your blood sugar and weight) AND they will enjoy. This is what I would call a win-win situation for someone with diabetes or who is overweight.
