Triple Chocolate Muffins

Triple Chocolate Muffins – Rich, tender chocolate muffins that are secretly healthy for you! You can have your cake and eat it too!

My parents get here today!  We are going to pick them up at the airport this morning, then spend some time in Denver this afternoon.  Tonight we get to go out for dinner to celebrate my birthday!  This is the first time my dad will be to our new town, so I am excited to show him around.  He lived near Denver at one point in his life, but he never made it north to Fort Collins.  Should be a fun weekend!

I might have to break out these triple chocolate muffins one morning while they are here.  They are full of chocolate, and could almost double as a dessert.  Fresh out of the oven the melted chocolate chips almost make it like a molten chocolate cake.

BUT, there is a big but involved.  They are healthy!  Shhhhh…you don’t have to tell anyone!  I found this recipe over at Dashing Dish.  She came up with the recipe when trying to recreate Chocolate Chunk Vitatop Muffins.

I have never had those before, so I don’t know how they compare, I just know they were delicious!  I only had milk chocolate chips on hand, so that is what I used.  Mini chips would be great to if you had them too!
