Peanut butter chocolate muffins
Peanut butter and chocolate are simply the best combination. Do you agree? Anytime I put those two together, I’m a happy girl.
These healthy chocolate muffins are extra special because we’re adding mashed sweet potato in! This is a really important part of the muffin because it helps to give them more structure, something often lacking in flourless muffins.
The texture is very cake-like, and the addition of chocolate chunks makes them extra sweet. I love using dark chocolate chunks, but go for your favorite here!
Or omit the extra chocolate to make it a bit less sweet, and extra wholesome.

Substitution ideas
Sweet potato – instead of mashed sweet potato, canned pumpkin or butternut squash work really well
Peanut butter – use any nut or seed butter in place of the peanut butter
Maple syrup – use honey instead of maple syrup
Egg – unfortunately, there is no substitution because of the lack of flour, egg is important to ensure these muffins work
Chocolate chunks – use dark chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or omit them completely

How to make them peanut butter chocolate muffins

- In a bowl whisk together the eggs, peanut butter, sweet potato, maple syrup, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Next stir in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chunks. The batter will be thick.
- Evenly distribute into muffin tins.
