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 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. 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!
