Healthy snickerdoodle muffin recipe from @bijouxandbits

I follow Cassey over at Blogilates and happened to see this recipe for a chickpea-based muffin that looked awesome. It used mostly clean ingredients, was low carb, and hit that sweet spot of flavors I had been jonesing for.

I modified the recipe a bit to accommodate my need for something slightly sweeter and to better mask the chickpea flavor and texture, not that it’s overwhelming at all anyway.

These types of muffins are killer for staving off sweet cravings without maxxing out the budget calorie-wise, but be warned that they are definitely not the texture of regular muffins. They’re more dense, less fluffy, and probably more in line with a soft cookie texture. In fast, they may even be better off called a “cookie,” but I’m sticking with the muffin title anyway.
