Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins

Place in blender:

1 can chick peas/ garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed
3  eggs
½ cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Place on top of batter in muffin tins:
1/3 cup nestle peanut butter chocolate chips sprinkled on top, or mini dark choco chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans sprinkled on top and pushed into batter.

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Prepare 12 muffin cups by lining with muffin papers or coating with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
3. Place chickpeas, eggs, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking soda, and vanilla in blender cover. Blend until smooth.
4. Divide batter among 12 prepared muffin cups ( I use a silicone pan sprayed with cooking spray - easy clean up)
5. Sprinkle muffins with chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
7. ENJOY warm for a tasty treat!
