Yesterday, I was in such a rut, I had to shower and do my hair and makeup just to feel productive. Then you know what I did? Still wasn’t productive. I think I haven’t fully recovered from Vegas, even though there wasn’t much to recover from since I didn’t drink that much or eat that terrible. Maybe it’s the second hand smoke in my lungs that I’m trying to recover from. That’s really the only thing I can think of. That’s gross.
Oh maybe it’s my monthly gift from hell. Yep, it’s probably that. Perfect timing.
I think I might be over the winter olympics. I’m really sorry if you love it, but I’m more into the summer olympics. I can only watch so much cold sports. It makes me cold. And I’m over being cold. I’m ready to wear skirts and dresses. Do you hate me for just disliking sports because it makes me feel cold? Yeah. Me too.
Speaking of being cold, I got about a bajillion instagram tags about people being snowed in and baking from my website. And when I say bajillion, I mean like ten. I wish I had that excuse why I was lazy yesterday. I almost baked so I wouldn’t feel lazy, but then I would have stuffed my face with food all day. And with the time of the month it is and my emotional instability, I decided baking would have been a poor decision.
I WANT RED VELVET CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKE!!! Like, really bad.
I wonder what it’s like for people to come in and read my blog for the first time and a post like THIS one is the first one they read. I would be like, daaaaaaamn this b*tch is cray, and I’d be right.
But on a serious note. If someone brought me chocolate cake to my house today, I think all emotional disarray would be gone. And life’s order would be brought into perspective. It’s the simple things, ya know? Ya follow me? Me neither. Let’s get out of this post as soon as possible.
And into these muffins!!!! Happy Vday you lovely humans!

I just made these and used honey instead of maple syrup and mixed almond butter with coffee grounds and 1/2 a teaspoon extra of vanilla….YUM!!! This is the first recipe I’ve used coconut flour in successfully. Yippee!!!
Do you ever use coconut sugar or avocado oil when you bake? I never have and have been wanting to experiment with it.
Fantastic! Love -love -love these. My husband is Swedish and appreciates the dialed down sweetness of all paleo baked goodies- reminds him of European baked deliciousness
Keep them coming!
DEE-LISH! I love that my kids think they are getting this amazing treat and I know they are getting some good nutrition.
Just made these in my mini muffin pans-it made about 36 minis…and they are DELICIOUS!!!! I baked them for 10 min, and they were perfect. So, so moist! My daughter..new to gluten free…said she prefers these to any other muffin she’s had…even the pre packaged brownie bites….YAY!! Thank you so, so much!!!!!!!!
I have 2 grandchildren and 1 daughter-in-law who have celiac disease. What a hit the double-chocolate espresso-muffins made. My husband and I have chosen to go paleo for health reasons, and these muffins plus your breakfast biscuit recipes are definitely on our permanent recipe list. Sooo delicious! Keep making new recipes.
Well, I’m a little late but this IS my first visit to your blog 🙂 Damn! lol…It’s been a while since I’ve had a gift from hell, but I still relate, and crave chocolate. I love it and plan to read from now on:)
Hi Juli , You always make me hungry. I love the recipe you have shared in this article. Looking forward to see more tips from you.
