These chocolate avocado muffins are sweet, healthier, and delicious. Great for an on-the-go snack or breakfast.

Chocolate and avocado, what odd combinations right? Wrong! Avocados are way more versatile than you think. There is more then they can do than just be added to guacamole or spread on toast. Avocados are so great to add into baking as they’ll enhance the texture and make it more moist. It can also be a great substitution for butter or oil. I’ve personally still used oil/butter in this chocolate avocado muffins recipe, but you’ll notice there’s a lot less in this chocolate avocado muffin recipe then you may find in other, typical muffin recipes. Thanks to the avocado!

Ridiculously moist! I used only 1/2 sugar (not a fan of sweet things) and replaced the mashed banana with a 2nd avocado as another baker suggested. I ended up making 12 large muffins, baking at 350 for 24 mins. Perfect springy texture, and sooo good. Will definitely make again!

Just made these, so delicious and a beautiful fudgy texture. Thought I would mention I replaced the banana with an extra avocado due to not having any bananas left and a need to use up avocados, turned out great!

Hi, do those need to be stored in the fridge? Or is air tight container room temperature fine?

Maria Koutsogiannis

5-7 days at room temperature in a tightly sealed container then into the fridge!
