Vegan Chocolate Chia Seed Muffins

Bryan is sitting here massaging my shoulders telling me how sweet, pretty and nice I am. Probably because I just baked him some muffins. And not just any muffins but the best muffins I have ever made. And what’s even cooler is that these were my own creation - I didn’t follow any cookbook or blog recipe, I just experimented. I’m not even going to post the recipe because I’ve decided these muffins are going to make me famous. Well that or I just don’t feel like revealing my recipe at this moment. :)

Any guesses on what else is in these glorious muffins besides chia seeds and vegan chocolate chips? I’ll give you one other ingredient: applesauce. Anything else?

If you’re looking for a power muffin, these will do the trick. They kept us full and strong for our 8 mile loop on a muddy, steep trail in Olema Valley.
