Recipe: Paleo Double Chocolate Muffins (Or Cupcakes!)

Tweet

I am a chocoholic. There are no doubts about it.

Always have been, always will be and I have absolutely no shame about it. 

That's why I almost always opt for chocolatey treats and baked goods over any others - but also because they taste so ridiculously good!

These muffins are not different. They're chocolatey and delicious but they have a little hidden secret.

Whilst they're super moist and fluffy - they're actually completely flourless... and even paleo.

But do they taste paleo? Or even remotely healthy? Absolutely not.  Even Jesse who claims he hates any baked goods with coconut flour, absolutely loves this recipe. 

They make the most perfect cupcakes or double chocolate chip muffins and this recipe can even be doubled and used to make a cake. 

But best of all? They take just minutes to make and once they cool for a little bit, they're all yours to devour!

So let me share the recipe with you! >>

• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and a skewer inserted into the middle removes clean.

But tell me, are you a fellow chocolate fiend?

What's your all time favourite chocolate or chocolate treat?

I have a horrible addiction to Lindt 90% Dark Chocolate.... I don't even want to know how much money I've spent on blocks or how many I've eaten, haha!
