Healthy Swaps

Flour: Instead of using regular white, all purpose flour, I used white whole wheat flour to make these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip muffins a bit healthier!

Sugar: Regular white sugar is so versatile and is great for baking. BUT did you know that you can easily substitute coconut sugar in recipes like this one, and it still delivers that sweetness with a healthier, less refined sugar!

Oil: Oil and butter are not the only ingredients that make muffins moist (sorry but I had to use that word)! In this recipe, I used peanut butter and greek yogurt and they make these muffins tender and fluffy!
