These Grain Free Chocolate Muffins are sweetened with just a little honey which makes them paleo but so tasty that anyone will love them!!

Yayyy for chocolate week!! Isn’t that what valentines day basically means?  Well I feel like it does in the blogging world.  And any excuse to get back to my baking roots I am all for!  So I wanted to create a muffin recipe that was actually springy and muffin like vs. dense like most paleo treats can end up.  Thank goodness for unsweetened applesauce!  That mixed with a few eggs (4) helped these muffins get the perfect consistency, even though you use a mix of almond flour and coconut flour.  A little dash of honey added some sweetness but we didn’t need much when it’s packed with chocolate chips. I have said it on here before and i’ll say it again – my mom is not a fan of paleo baked goods and she actually LOVED these!! WIN!

Speaking of my mom – for her birthday last year my sister and I got us all tickets to a Miranda Lambert concert and it is this Friday!  I love seeing live music and country is the best when it comes to concerts.  We can’t wait to get our cowboy boots on and stomp the night away – even though I am the DD!  And now that I am thinking about it and writing this post… I should probably make some of these for car snacks.  It will take about an hour and a half to get there and this mama to be needs snacks on hand all the time.

Okay now another change of subject because I have lots of thoughts – we are going to register for our baby shower tonight!! And when you’re reading this it will have been last night but I am just so excited.  Choosing the stuff we will use once our baby girl is home with us is the next step to making it feel so real and I just can’t wait.
