On a rainy day, there isn’t anything more comforting to me than a morning spent with a hot cup of coffee, a sweet treat, and a good book. There’s a sort of magic to it. I sit at the kitchen table by a closed window, watching droplets race down the glass, and sip on a strong brew punctuated with bites of its soulmate, chocolate. It’s the kind of peace that makes your heart sing and overflow with a simple and quiet sort of happiness. I’m perfectly content and want nothing more than to hold on to that feeling of a seemingly slowed-down world, where nothing matters but the dripping of both the rain outside and the coffee brewing in its pot.
And that’s where these Healthier Glazed Chocolate Muffins come into play:
I love them because they let me savor those types of mornings and play the important role of balancing that bitter sip of caffeine with a perfectly sweet bite of chocolate-glazed deliciousness. They have a fluffy inside that Kyle raves about and they give you a satisfying chocolate-y kick without leaving you with an aching sweet tooth.
Not to mention they’re made with whole wheat flour, no butter, and greek yogurt! Delicious and healthier for you than a giant grocery store muffin. Yum.
You have a talent in making those pictures look magazine worthy! Seriously, I want some! Although I’d need to eat about half a dozen of them to fill me up haha
OH MY GOSH stop it. You’re making me drool 😉 Your recipes seriously look so perfect and delicious!!
Uhm, as usual, these look amazing!
It’s like you knew that my chocolate cravings were just raging today 😛 These look incredible, lady… and they almost remind me of my favourite chocolate glazed donuts.
Ahhh yes I do tend to crave sweets in the mornings–these look so good. They look especialy good because I looooove glazed icing. I mean, how can you not?
YUM! They look fabulous, as always!
Holy yum, Christine! These muffins looks fabulous as all of your kitchen creations do. I love using greek yogurt in baking, it makes the result so moist and fluffy!
I sort of hope it rains more often for you…these look incredible!
Mmmmm….I saw these come through in my Bloglovin feed last night, and I was like “Can I bake muffins at midnight?” They look so delicious, and chocolate is definitely my best friend right now ;-).
Love the way the glaze just drips off those suckers. I want one…now please!
These are looking pretty dreamy lady!! So beautiful and much healthier than the ones you get at like Starbucks or Dunkin.
Yay!!
Coffee, a sweet treat, and a book book in the morning? Pure bliss.
I haven’t had a donut in who knows how long?!
I need to get on this. I love chocolate, so this will be perfect! I will savor every bite.
You are rocking these recipes lately. 😀
It doesn’t rain in Kuwait often – but who says I can’t make a batch of these & pretend?
Girl, you make some pretty food! Seriously, if I made those they would look like a pile of poo with some glaze on top. Baha. But I guess if mine looked so pretty, it would be that much harder to chow down and demolish them without a smidge of guilt! The perks of being a talentless baker! 😉
I’m so glad I found your blog through WIAW. I’m going to have to bookmark this recipe!
So glad you found your way over here too! 😀
Oh, this glaze looks to die for – well done!
Thanks Sabrina! 😀
These were great!! I substituted the white flour with more whole wheat and the sugar for honey to make them just a whee more wholesome and voila! They were delicious thank you!
