I think a pretty deadly combination is chocolate, and muffins. Together they form just the most delicious treats. I mean just look at these?! Taste aside, you'll get almost 10g of protein per muffin. Not to mention, these muffins only have .65g of fat. Yes, you read that correctly...less than 1g of fat per muffin. Gah, make them now!
If you try these chocolate muffins, don't forget to snap a pic and tag it #thedietchef

Ok - REALLY?!!!! These are INSANE!!! Easy is not the word for it when it comes to making them - there are NO words to describe how good they are and how great the macros are. No guilt eating these - even on reverse diet. Joe - seriously - I've made a number of your recipes since seeing you for the first time on Simon's channel and they have all been great! I appreciate your creativity and keeping the macros do-able for people who care about macros. OMG - these are so great! A perfect snack for during the day. Awesome!!!
