Avocado chocolate muffins that make for an easy paleo breakfast! Gluten free muffins made with almond flour and avocado. Kid approved muffins that taste like brownies!
You know how much I love chocolate.
And today was a party….
Today was a little different, because the neighbor kids came over and we had an even bigger party!
Of course, it involved chocolate, because what’s a party without chocolate???
We tried sneaking avocado into the recipe without the kiddos catching on.
So, we blindfolded them, but kids are smarter than they were in the ’90’s I guess, because they picked up on the green avocado in their brownie mix pretty darn fast!
Lucky us, they loved it and the recipe was a hit!
Avocado muffins? yes!
Everyone couldn’t stop eating these tasty chocolate muffins!
I hope you enjoy these healthy paleo muffins, packed with extra protein from the almond flour and little EXTRA with the avo. 🙂
