Notes
- Make sure to save some chocolate chips to poke into the top of the healthy chocolate chip muffins before they go in the oven, as it makes them look really good.
- You can use milk, dark or white chocolate chips muffins.
- For extra greens, add some chopped spinach to the blender too.
- Make sure you don't over mix the flour in to the rest of the ingredients, otherwise the chocolate muffins will be too dense
