Double Chocolate Caramel Muffins

I am SO STOKED to share this recipe with you guys! :) There are a lot of ingredients, but I promise that these muffins are really easy to make. This is what they look like with half the chocolate batter in the muffin tins, & all of the caramel sauce.

...topped with the other half of the chocolate batter, & the muffins are ready for baking!

All done! No gluten, soy, nuts, sugar, dairy or eggs! Who says vegans eat boring food? :) These are best served warm! Ooey, gooey, caramel center <3 Much love, xo
