Lentils in muffins?!
Yes, chocolate + lentils in a muffin = delicious!
I literally couldn’t get these off of the cooling rack before my kids were devouring them. They are high in protein, easy to make, and chocolatey – definitely a win for a snack in our home.

What kind of lentils do you use in this recipe? Are they red or green? What size can?
Can I make a batch of dried lentils and use them instead?
You can use any lentils that you like! I used red though.
