Whole wheat double chocolte muffins. These are vegan

Muffins

I needed a chocolate fix when I made these. Sometimes a girl just needs a little bit of chocolate. You know?

These Double Chocolate Whole Wheat Banana Muffins are vegan and fill the chocolatey requirement. And will totally settle that mid-afternoon chocolate craving. In a slightly virtuous way - there is whole wheat flour in there!

Speaking of girls and chocolate, look at this girls chocolate brown eyes.
This recipe makes 12 relatively small muffins. (not the ginormous monsters you find at the coffee shop) which is good. Good for a snack. And perfect for moderation.If you would like a more generous muffin I suggest you divide the batter between 10 muffins cups instead of 12. Although, I'd stick with making 12. Smaller muffins = slightly less guilt. Oh and did I tell you there was whole wheat, and flax in there. Yep, about as healthy as a chocolate, chocolate mufin can be.

Here is how you make them..
