Taryn's chocolatey chocolate V-day muffins

As always, I made this recipe as I went. So hopefully I can remember it all.

3/4 whole wheat flour
1/2 cup 7 grain cereal
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 1/2 cup blended beets (blended with a bit of coconut water)
handful of raisins
handful of almonds- slap chopped
9 soaked and chopped dates
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut
3/4 cup pure dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup of cocoa
2 whole eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of ground flax
cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla

and I think thats it.... all mixed together baked at 350 for about 20 minutes. Rich and delicious. I really didn't know if these were going to turn out.... But they exceeded my expectations!!!

ps. pure (no sugar/chemicals added) coconut water is now at Costco hurray!!! $11.99 for a 12 pack, best price I have seen in the city by FAR! except they didn't have Lara bars today.... hopefully they just ran out :)

  3. These sound delicious, I can't wait to make some. I'm allergic to nuts, did you just add the almonds to up the protein quotient? Do u think I would need to substitute anything if I omit the almonds?
