The healthy fat combines so well with the chickpeas giving them their creamy inside. They’re decadent and almost too good to be healthy. Toss in a few chocolate chips and you’ve got the best chocolate chip muffins of your life.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a muffin tin with muffin liners or greasing it well with oil.

Place all the ingredients except the chocolate chips into a food processor or blender. Blend on high until smooth.

Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and fold in the chocolate chips. Fill the muffin cavities 3/4 of the way full with the batter.

Bake at 350 F 20 minutes or until slightly brown and a toothpick can be removed from the center clean.

Let the muffins sit in the pan 5 minutes before gently removing and transferring to a wire baking rack.

Do not use sunflower butter for this recipe as the muffins will turn green.

Store muffins in the refrigerator 7-10 days and in the freezer up to 60 days.
