Introduction
Most "healthy" dessert recipes look healthy at first glance. Maybe low fat and low calories. Maybe high fiber and protein. But on closer look, you'll find they have an insane amount of sugar per serving - 20 to 40 grams! These muffins, though, truly are healthy. Low Cal, low fat, fiber, protein, and only about 9 grams of sugar per serving. You could easily leave out the chocolate chips and cut the calories, fat, and sugar in half, and they'd still be yummy!
