How to make it

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Get your muffin tin ready by lining it with paper cups or lightly greasing it.
2. In a big bowl, combine the flour, Primal Peanut Butter powder, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk them together thoroughly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, egg and vanilla essence until completely blended.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are fine. Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
6. Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
