Avocado Chocolate Chip Muffins
I have kind of been on a muffin kick lately. I'm blaming it on the avocados. I can't let them sit there and over-ripen...right?! That just wouldn't be fair! Nope. Totally not fair. So turning them into delicious chocolatey muffins seemed like the perfect solution!
*Disclaimer: I should not be anywhere near chocolate this month...and I did sneak a few bites, BUT in my defense, Lily requested chocolate chip muffins, as she is not very fond of blueberry muffins.
See...I had to do it! Plus, I found these adorable liners at Target that I just couldn't wait to use!
