Irresistible Double Chocolate Muffins

Out of this world! Happened to have everything on hand and made these on a rainy Sunday morning. Now I have a yummy healthy sweet snack for the week. Would definitely make again!

These muffins are pretty good! With no oil or butter, the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, flax & pumpkin purée, I was kinda wondering if these would be as rich or as sweet enough as I would like to satisfy my sweet tooth - or if they would taste "healthy". I am pleased to say that with the chocolate chips in it, it is sweet enough for me, and the flavor of the whole wheat flour, flax, and wheat germ does not overpower the muffin like I feared it might. I made the recipe as is (except using lactose-free milk + lemon juice = buttermilk). I would definitely make it again. They will taste great cut in half with margarine!

I was nervous about using the healthy ingredients but my kids ages 16, 15 and 11 have been begging me to make these again! They were moist and very yummy! I can feel good making them, knowing there are healthy ingredients!

These were so good!!! I used 2 bananas instead of pumpkin and ground whole oats instead of wheat germ and did raw honey plus 1/2 Tblsp molasses instead of brown sugar and added pinch of himalayan salt as other review mentioned to add salt.... they raised beautifully! I did add a few more choc chips... I wish I would have checked at 18-19 minutes instead of at 20mins..... mine cooked faster in my convection oven but were still oh so delicious!!!!! These will be a repeat!!!!

made it with my picky 3 year old and he likes it. I didn't have wheat germ and substituted oat bran, oh and I didn't have buttermilk so grabbed some cream and milk and it all worked out okay.

Delicious! Everyone in the family loves them! We subbed oat brand for wheat germ and used 3/4cup of pure maple syrup instead of brown sugar and they turned out fantastic. My 3 year old (who did most of the work himself) loves them. Thank you for the great recipe!
