Make muffins part of your morning routine with these Gluten Free Chocolate Avocado Muffins! High in protein, lower in sugar and made with simple wholesome ingredients. Portable, delicious and filled with CHOCOLATE! Gluten Free + Low Calorie
Happy Monday Muffins! I have a packed day ahead of prepping Skinny Fitalicious Meal Plans, meeting with SF one-on-one nutrition clients, teaching spin, lifting weights and doing whatever else I can fit in between.
The weekend was busy, but a good balance of work and fun. We went to a hockey game. I bought tickets for the guy for Christmas. His hometown team was here playing the Coyotes.
He was as excited as a little kid watching the game while I was freezing the whole time. This ex-Wisconsin girl is definitely not made for cold weather.
Something I am made for? Muffins! And these Gluten Free Healthy Chocolate Avocado Muffins are definitely winners! Some of the first recipes I used to start this blog were muffins and they still remain a staple here to this day!
I love that they’re portable and actually make you feel like you’re eating a goodie when they’re secretly packed with good for you ingredients.
You guys know I don’t love the taste of avocados, but I sure do love sneaking them into foods to replace oil and butter. Avocado Chocolate Pudding, Avocado Brownies, Chocolate Avocado Cookies to name a few!
Remember, avocados are a healthy fat that can be consumed in moderation. A lot of you still ask me about avoiding fats and my answer is EAT THEM! Starting with these chocolate avocado muffins!

What I Used For The Recipe
HOCKEY IS SO MUCH FUN! I can’t wait to make these, totally going on my chocolate list for after lent (giving up chocolate)
You guys should go to a game with us sometime.
I haven’t been to a hockey game in ages, it is fun though! These look awesome!
Thanks Emily!
These look great. I can’t have yogurt due to an amino protein allergy. Can I substitute homemade apple purée in place of the yogurt or is there something else use. Also I’m allergic to flax & chia seeds too.
I have not tried subbing with anything else. Coconut yogurt would be an easy win, but I’m not sure about apple puree. Gluten Free flour is pretty picky.
Can you give an approximate measurement for the 2 medium avocados? I have very large ones.
Hey there! About 3/4 cup to 1 cup.
Could I use a substitute for coconut sugar?
I haven’t tried another substitute. If you do, let me know and I’ll update the recipe for others!
How long will these stay fresh…fridge or freezer past fresh date?
