Chocolate-Raspberry Collagen Muffins with Coconut Butter Drizzle

 
The dream: a rich, chocolatey, cupcake-y muffin that isn’t just “not bad” for your health, it’s actually good for you. In our more snack-oriented dreams, we’ve fantasized about a dessert that can make your skin glow, support your gut health, and give you a protein boost, all while being low in sugar and gluten-free.

Impossible, right? Surprisingly, not so much: These luscious chocolate muffins fit the bill precisely. They’re grain- and gluten-free, have no refined sugar, and come with a secret weapon: Youtheory® Collagen Powder. This convenient, simple-to-use unflavored powder disappears into the muffins, so all you taste is rich, indulgent chocolate — but behind the scenes, these peptides strengthen your hair, skin, and nails; support healthy joints; and even help ward off signs of aging.

The muffins are also studded with tart raspberries, which bring a pop of color and flavor. And aside from pairing perfectly with chocolate, raspberries are a good source of vitamin C, which helps the skin synthesize collagen, making this star ingredient even more effective.

But the best part is that these muffins are easy to make, no special equipment needed. Whisk a few wholesome ingredients together, spoon into your muffin tin, and you’re on your way to a super-tasty snack — or breakfast! — all week long. (Pro tip: you can always freeze a few as a treat for your future self). A simple, optional glaze makes them even prettier, and lends healthy fats from coconut butter.

Rich chocolate, fresh raspberries, and a health- and beauty-boosting special ingredient — these muffins are a dream come true.
