Happy Monday Muffins! I have a packed day ahead of prepping  Skinny Fitalicious Meal Plans, meeting with SF one-on-one weight loss 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 recipe, 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!

These muffins are a lower sugar muffin recipe. Most of us are consuming too little sugar so if you are eating more sugar than you realize, you may find these muffins seems bland or flavorless. If that's the case, you can added more sugar to get the flavor you like!

Servings 8 muffins
Calories 193 kcal

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 medium avocado ripe
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1 cup Gluten Free baking flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips dairy free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare a standard muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease with olive oil. 
  • Blend the eggs, Greek yogurt, avocado and sugar with a hand mixer or in a blender. 
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl and add gluten free flour, cacao powder, salt and baking powder. Combine until smooth. 
  • Fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Then transfer to the prepared muffin tin.
  • Fill each cavity 2/3 of the way full. Do not fill any more as these rise quite a bit. 
  • Bake at 375 F 18-20 minutes until set. 
  • Remove from the oven cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

Notes

  • This is a low sugar muffin recipe and is NOT meant to be a sweet muffin. As mentioned in the blog post, if you are not used to low sugar you may find this has little flavor which is due to your body being used to sugar. Add more sugar if you need more flavor or sweetness.

    Hi, is there a substitute for coconut sugar please? Can I use this recipe for kids? How much in g for the one Avacado? I think mine not as big, the batter becomes dry and I added some milk in is that ok? As I’m not on gluten free diet.

      You can use any sugar in place of coconut sugar. As for the avocado, I used a small one. You do need to make sure it is ripe and that you measure the flour properly by spooning the flour into a measuring cup. Otherwise, you will get too much batter and it will be really thick and caulk-y. The ripe avocado will also ensure a smooth batter. You can add a little milk though too.

    While snowed in, taking inventory on what ingredients I had on hand to whip up a healthy treat, I remembered wanting to try the recipe GF Avocado Chocolate Chip muffins. I’m so glad I did. Yet again, another slam dunk of a recipe, by Megan, that is not only easy, with most ingredients likely already in your pantry but most importantly so delicious. I have never been disappointed by any recipes in Megan’s cookbook or on Megan’s skinnyfitalicious website.

    These muffins are excellent! They do not have a sugary flavor like most muffins. I'm glad you said to add sugar if you're not used to a low sugar foods. Your podcast on insulin resistance and sugar dependency was really eye opening!

    Can you give an approximate measurement for the 2 medium avocados? I have very large ones.

    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.
