chocolate avocado muffins


Avocados and chocolate? Yep they go together...I promise! I picked up some organic locally grown avocados yesterday and made some yummy antioxidant packed muffins! I was almost sure there were no other weirdos who would put avocados in muffins, but I was wrong. I guess you can put anything in a muffin, even sardines...NO thank you, sardines are staying out of my muffins...but there is an actual recipe if your curious.

What you'll need:
  • 2 ripe organic avocados
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 5 unsweetened baking squares
  • 1 tsp baking powder...I once made a cake and thought "Oh well I don't have baking powder and the recipe only calls for 2 little scoops..so I will leave it out." Result = flat cake :(
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 4 tbs of honey
  • A couple dashes of salt
  • 2 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 3/4 unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil

Mush up the two avocados.


In a large bowl add melted chocolate, olive oil, honey, vanilla, and almond milk.
In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
Mix the avocado mixture with the dry ingredients until you have a nice smooth consistency.

I was a tiny bit worried that these would taste funky..but nope they are delicious!!
