Meal Prep Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Add “ingredients to blend” list to a blender and blend on high until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) to a large mixing bowl and mix until evenly combined.
  • Pour blended ingredients into dry ingredient mixture and gently mix until just combined, not over mixing.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Scoop into muffin tin (or I love this silicon tray for easy cleaning and no sticking!)
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 375, then lower heat to 350 and bake for another 5-10 minutes, checking frequently with a knife in the center of your biggest muffin to make sure it comes out clean. Cool in tray completely before popping out and storing.

Notes

Meal Prep Tips:
