Paleo Avocado Chocolate Muffins
These Paleo Avocado Chocolate Muffins blend mashed avocado with cocoa and coconut flour for a moist, chocolatey muffin with a subtle buttery note. The recipe avoids grains and dairy by using paleo-friendly ingredients and relies on the natural fats in avocado for texture. Baking produces a top with cracks indicating doneness.

Optional Add-ins:
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips

- Add all ingredients to a food processor (except for chocolate chips, if adding) and process until completely smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Fill the muffin papers ¾ of the way up (the muffins will not rise a lot) and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes (mine take 25 and I bake at elevation), until tops are set up and have cracks.
