Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins are scrumptious! They are a "skinny" version, so I don't feel bad that we made these and ate them rather quickly. You can enjoy them for breakfast with some scrambled eggs or other protein, but we chose to just enjoy these as a midday snack each day for the week.
