I am totally down for a spot of Sunday baking and these chocolate & pistachio muffins are too good not to share.

If you're familiar with the way I work, you'll know these are more than just a chocolatey treat. They've got protein, fibre, raw cacao, & minimal sugar which you can choose to eliminate entirely if you wish.
