About Double chocolate muffin

Double chocolate muffins are a rich, decadent dessert or snack originating from Western cuisine, particularly popular in American and European baking traditions. These muffins are made with ingredients such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, eggs, and butter. A single muffin typically provides around 300-400 calories and contains carbohydrates, fats, and some protein. Generally, this treat is high in sugar and saturated fat and provides limited micronutrients, though cocoa powder and dark chocolate contribute small amounts of iron, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Health Benefits

• Cocoa powder and dark chocolate in double chocolate muffins contain flavonoids, which are antioxidants that may support heart health.
• Chocolate provides small amounts of magnesium, contributing to nerve function and muscle health.
• Cocoa also contains theobromine, a compound that may enhance mood and cognitive function in moderate amounts.

Allergens: Contains gluten (from flour), eggs, dairy (from butter or milk)

While it provides energy and some flavor enjoyment, consuming them in moderation is recommended due to potential health concerns like weight gain or blood sugar spikes.

What is a proper serving size for a double chocolate muffin?
