  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips 

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Melt butter and honey together.  Whisk in cocoa powder and peanut butter until smooth.

Helpful hints

  • If desired use almond butter in place of peanut butter. Almond butter has 24 mg more phosphorus and 16 mg more potassium per serving than peanut butter.
  • If preferred use reduced-fat peanut butter. This change will add approximately 4 grams of carbohydrate per serving.
  • Chocolate and peanut butter are high in potassium and phosphorus. The secret to including in a kidney diet is the portion--1 small muffin. Ask your dietitian if you need a phosphate binder with this muffin.
