The Best Chocolate Chip Collagen Muffins (gluten free, keto, paleo)

In times of stress there is nothing better than baking.  Baking with healthy ingredients, even better!  Good quality chocolate and cacao is something I cannot live without.   This superfood has more antioxidants than red wine and even green tea (but I still need my wine too). Cacao is high in magnesium, which can help to lower blood pressure and relax muscles.  There’s a reason why we reach for this stuff during crisis.  Adding in collagen helps to nourish the gut and pack a little protein.  Bonus your skin might get a boost too. If you are going to indulge these are totally worth it and won’t compromise the gut. Here’s to a cleaner indulgence!
