Adam always complains that I make all sorts of tasty looking treats but won't let him touch them, because they are for the girls' lunch boxes. So I made these just for him.
This is another recipe that makes me feel very sly because they taste so sinful (even Adam said they HAD to be loaded with calories), but are really pretty healthy. They even contain beets...a lot of beets...a veggie that is not one of Adam's favorites. Ha!
Open your mind and you open the possibility of great tasting super healthy food.
Chocolate Chip Red Velvet Muffins (Gluten-Free & Sugar-Free)

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
