Olympic Chocolate Muffins

By now you have probably heard of the Chocolate Muffins that have gone viral from the Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

If not, here’s everything you need to know…

Swimmer- Henrick Christansen of Norway started doing TikTok videos of some chocolate muffins he enjoyed getting in Olympic Village.  A lot of the athletes are making videos referring to Henrick about the muffins.

Sodexo Live!, the company responsible for feeding the 15,000 athletes living in the Paris Olympic Village, told PEOPLE.  They’re expecting to serve 100,000 of the chocolate muffins throughout the Olympics and Paralympics. They estimated about 2,000 muffins are being consumed daily.

Well I just knew there had to be a recipe.  A radio friend of mine (Kristen who hosts a Morning Show with her husband Nick in Oregan) posted the other day that she made them and shared the recipe.  Which led me to this TikTok of Jordan_The_Stallion8.

Here’s the recipe typed out for you:
