Rich and decadent healthy chocolate muffins made gluten free and dairy free. These naturally sweetened muffins are made with coconut sugar and stevia sweetened chocolate.
I really loved using the Lily’s Intense Dark Chocolate because it’s sugar free and the dark chocolate is vegan.
Lily’s has seriously been one of my favorite chocolate brands. The brand has been around since the 1970’s and they make sure that their products are harvested through Fair Trade Practices and are botanically sweetened.
You can’t tell the difference between them and their refined sugar equivalent. That means that your baking is still going to be so chocolatey. There are so many vegan chocolate options with the Lily products.
