Date and Cashew Chocolate Muffins
Chocolatey, pleasantly chewy, mildly crunchy and even a little fluffy? Yep! This is what you get when you bring together chocolate chips and cocoa with oat flakes, dates, beans, and cashew. So, it’s all in one! Some of us would say that only 2 of these per person is not fair serving at all.
