Featured Ingredient: Chocolate
As a nutrition writer and mountain biker, I’ve chewed my way
through no shortage of the energy bars on the market. Yeah, I know, it’s a
tough gig. Some are hard to choke down, but the offerings from CLIF never fail
to rouse my taste buds. Blissfully chewy and pumped full of great flavors, they
are motivation enough to get out there for an epic ride. Well, I’ve been known
to also nosh on them while typing away on the computer. Certainly, you could do
worse for a snack option.
So, I’ve got another great giveaway for the Muffin Tin Mania
readers out there. My contact at CLIF would like to supply a lucky reader with
a collection of their yummy chocolate flavors such as Chocolate Almond Fudge and Chocolate Brownie.
And this gives me
the perfect opportunity to showcase these deliciously moist vegan mini
chocolate muffins. So the first person who leaves a comment correctly guessing
what I used for a binder in lieu of eggs (hint: it also makes these a little
more fudgy) and the non-dairy beverage added for moistness (hint: it’s pretty
groovy), will have some CLIF chocolate goodness delivered to their abode. Sorry
Gretzky fans, U.S. residents only.
Check back on
Friday where I will announce the winner and provide the details for the recipe.

ReplyDeleteGood guesses so far, but no lucky winners yet. Also, remember you need to also guess the non-dairy beverage I used.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is beets and coconut milk!
ReplyDelete(Let's just say that if I could mainline beets into my mouth I would do it.)
Great combo, but not quite. Feel free to try again Rachel.
