Healthy Chocolate Walnut Muffins Recipe with Video

Chocolate muffin

Simple to make and fun to eat, chocolate walnut muffins can absolutely fit into the clean eating breakfast or snack category for kids. The key is simply to make your muffins with nutrient-dense “whole food” ingredients, be mindful of the oils you use, and keep a careful eye on added sugars. The chocolate walnut muffins in the recipe below are very low in sugar, 100% whole grain and bursting with fiber, antioxidants, phytonutrients and omega-3’s.

Watch the video below to see how my 8-year old son, Blake, made the chocolate walnut muffins all by himself!

    This recipe lists coconut oil as an ingredient but the directions never mention it, aside from greasing the pan. I assume you mix it in with the wet ingredients…? Thanks.

    Hi Ivy,
    I so enjoyed your son’s cooking class. He is truly delightful! I can see him on the cooking channel in his future!
    I tried many of your recipes from your whole foods cookbook and they are very good . Unfortunately, my pain started coming back. I returned to the Gold Coast Cure method and it has mostly resolved. I do utilize some of your healthy suggestions from your latest book. The cure was the true miracle in my life. Thank you both for your hard work.
    Diane

      Hi Diane! So sorry for the delay getting back to you…we were on vacation in CA. I’m thrilled you like Blake’s cooking 😉 However, I’m so sorry to hear about your pain. Can you please remind me again what this is from and maybe I can offer some new suggetions. Are you on Facebook? This is a great way to connect with me. I also so much appreciate your positive feedback on the book…I can’t tell you how much it means to me. Hopefully I can offer some suggestions that will help with the pain you are having…
      Warmly,
      ivy

      Thanks so much for the positive feedback Lauren! I will look into a program that can do this. One reason I haven’t put calories, carbs, etc. up is because in our books we talk about the importance of “making your food count nutritionally” rather than getting hung up “counting your food” (in the form of calories, carbs, fat grams, etc.) Still, I know it would be helpful for people to see this info. I appreciate your feedback!! thanks so much =)
