It was my coworkers birthday last weekend and I can't go without making a special treat! The most wonderful treats are filled with amazing chocolatey flavor. Wanting to skip the extreme calorie laden sweets, I searched for a delicious alternative.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon
These were a great hit and I was so excited!! They smell positively delicious and are a delicious chocolate flavor. DEFINITELY put these in the fridge!! I made the mistake of leaving them in the cupcake carrier and they got moldy. The Birthday Boy was about 2 days late and I was mortified when my boss picked up a moldy cupcake only 2 days later! That said, don't chance it, stick these in the fridge right away!!!
 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon | You will need 2 full cups of strawberry puree. I used about 3.5-4 cups of frozen strawberries. I do not have a fantastic blender so this step took a while!! I used about 1/4-1/3 cup of water to puree the strawberries. |
| Mash a ripe banana with a fork in the bottom of the bowl. Crack one egg into the bowl with it. |  Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon |
 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon | Add the strawberry puree to the egg and banana. Mix these wet ingredients well. I did not picture the water here but that should be included in this step! *I did not pay attention to directions and forgot to mix wet ingredients first! They still turned out well but do not forget this step for a better consistency =) |
| After mixing the wet ingredients, pour in the oats, cinnamon, backing powder, and vanilla. |  Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon |
 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon | Add cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips! Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients well. |

My recipe made 24 cupcakes!! Pop them in the oven, they bake for a while - about 35-40 minutes!
| I put some strawberry cream cheese on it and it is so good! I got this idea from the original recipe and it is delicious! They are yummy alone but the cream cheese really takes it to the next level. |  Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins @ fanaticallyfitphenomenon |
