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?”

  9. I went to Chipotle for the first time last year, and I’m definitely a bit older than you, so don’t feel bad! 🙂 Isn’t it amazing? I’m so in love with their burrito bowls. These chocolate chip muffins sound incredible, Taylor! And bonus that they’re healthy too!

    • Okay, I do feel a wee bit better! And, yes, It is SO GOOD! The burrito bowl is what I had – yum!
      Thanks so much Gayle!

  15. Friend, your life will be forever changed. Chipotle is amazing! Irresistible (although don’t pay extra for the guac, I’ve got an exact replica recipe!). I think I need to get there today and have some, you’ve got it in my head! And after, some of these muffins to wash it down. They look positively sinful!

  22. Healthy and chocolate? I love it when those two words can go together! And I’ve never been to Chipotle either, so disappointing. But in my defence, there isn’t one where I am in Canada! I’ll have to make the effort next time I’m in the States!

    Reply

    • Right?! Such a good day when they come together.
      You haven’t been?! You need to go! But, as a Canadian, I feel your pain! Thanks Stacey!

  24. So how many does this make and are they mini or regular size? My hubby loves chocolate.

    I had never heard for Chipotle until our son moved to Charlotte,NC 3 years ago. I have only ate there one time. Now we have one in our town. Haven’t been though.

  25. Haha love this: “Run, not walk. Walking is for salad.” YES that is so true. I never feel like I should move quickly towards a salad. But these muffins! They look so moist. I love that they’re only 150 calories! That’s amazing! Can’t wait to try them 🙂

  32. 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?

    Reply

    • TROOF. You wouldn’t wanna attract none o’ those creepy crawlies right!!
      I am sad for your body hating lactose ways! 🙁 It’s so yum. Sorry to rub it in!
      I haven’t but I have heard yummy things…do I need to go??
