These Healthy Chocolate Chip Muffins are whole wheat, filled with cream cheese and are SO moist, chocolatey and only 150 calories!
I forgot to tell you about a MAJOR life event that happened to me a WHOLE WEEK AGO.
I went to Chipotle. For my first time in the (almost) 24 years that I have been on this earth.
And now you think I am the most un-cultured specimen of a human. I see your judge-y eyes.
It’s ok. I am kind of judging myself.
HOW-EV-ER, we did not get our first Chipotle in Canada until I left aforementioned country. NOT MY FAWLT. (Sidenote: Spell check isn’t telling me that I spelled “fault” wrong. I think it’s finally realized that it needs to give up on yelling at my improper grammar skillz. Should I be concerned?)
Why did it take me 2 YEARS of being Amuricanized to eat at this magical little joint of avocado and cheese covered shredded chicken taco YUHMMMAYY-ness?
It probably had something to do with me thinking that I didn’t like Mexican food, until I started making ALL the Mexican food (remember 2 weeks ago? Mexican Cauliflower tot casserole, Mexican Stuffed Zucchini, and Mexican Lentil Homemade Hummus in the SAME WEEK.)
But, I finally had a little chat with my brain and scolded it for pulling the wool over my taste buds for the past 24-ish years.
You know, because normal people do that. Right? Don’t answer that.
Oh, and by the way, this recipe has nothing to do with cheese, avocado, or general burrito/taco qualities.
BUT. I love these healthy chocolate chip muffins JUST as much. Plus, Mexican Chocolate is all the rage.
Even though there is absolutely NO spice here. Only creamy-cheesy filled goodness <– Always.
Whatever. Clearly I am making terrible segues today. I’m over it.
So healthy chocolate chip muffins. Chocolate muffins that are DOUBLED UP on the chocolate goodness, but are only 150 calories. HOLD DA PHONE.
Chocolate muffins, that like the other chocolate paleo muffins, are SO healthy that they make the muffin man hide in his processed-1-billion-calorie-muffin shame.
Whatever that means.
Healthy Chocolate Chip muffins that make you feel like you should wear stretchy pants while you eat them. Except, FOOLED YOU, you can eat 4.6 of them in yo’ SKINNY JEANS.
Ninja chocolate muffins.
The amount of times that I have said “chocolate muffins” is getting ridiculous.
But NAOW (again, spell check isn’t yelling. Yes, I think I should be concerned) you just.can’t.stop.thinking.about.them.
So, you should RUN (not walk. Walking is for salad) over to WholeYum to snag the Healthy Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe.
My final question: Who calls “Chipotle” “Chi-pot-el?”
P. S Did you see this awesome cash giveaway that posted early this morning? CHECK ‘ER OUT YO’.

So…I can only eat 4.6 – out of 12…am I supposed to let the other 7.4? I cannot let them sit there in all their chocolate goodness – and besides they might attract bugs ….only one thing to do and that’s EAT ‘EM ALL – minus the cream cheese filling!
So, now that you have been to Chipotle – have you been to Moe’s?
Taylor Kiser says
TROOF. You wouldn’t wanna attract none o’ those creepy crawlies right!!
