Gluten and Sugar-Free Protein Chocolate Muffins

What I like about this recipe is that I can use cocoa powder.
I am a huge chocolate lover, but I don't buy commercial chocolate any more, I make my own healthy treats.

I try to incorporate many healthy chocolate treats in my day-to-day diet; without adding artificial sweeteners or sugar.
I use honey and doTERRA Cinnamon, Grapefruit and other (sweet) essential oils.

Ingredients:

2 whole eggs
1 banana
1 scoop of whey protein powder
1/2 scoop of coconut/almond/rice flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
A bit of salt
2 drops of doTERRA Cinnamon Essential oil

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Then put them in the oven at 175 degrees for around 15-20 minutes.

Once the mass becomes just a little sticky, take it out of the oven and let it cool in the fridge.

Wild Orange is a doTERRA favourite for its fresh, invigorating aroma.
It also has a variety of uses from aiding the digestive system to energising the mind and body.
Part of its appeal is thanks to its chemical makeup—Wild Orange has a high amount of monoterpenes, which gives the oil purifying and stimulating qualities that can help enhance immunity. The orange rind is also full of antioxidants that help maintain overall health.

Wild Orange Oil Uses and Benefits

Possibly one of the most distinct characteristics of Wild Orange essential oil is its powerful scent. The strong, sweet, citrus aroma of Wild Orange makes it useful for purifying the air, promoting and energizing an uplifting environment, or simply creating a pleasant smell in the home. To harness the purifying power and aroma of Wild Orange essential oil, place a few drops on your air filter at home. This will improve your home’s scent while simultaneously purifying the air.
The purifying properties of Wild Orange essential oil are not only useful for cleansing the air, but you can also use the oil to cleanse surfaces around the home. Similar to Lemon essential oil, Wild Orange essential oil can be used to wipe down frequently used surfaces around the home when you want to cleanse and purify them. Not only is Wild Orange helpful for purifying your kitchen table, countertop, or anything your family might use frequently throughout the day, but it can also be useful when cleaning the bathroom. Put three drops of Wild Orange in your bathroom sink or bathtub drains to help dispel any unpleasant odours or grime. Be sure to let the oil evaporate before you run the water.
