Deliciously Moist Chocolate Chip Avocado Muffins

Chocolate Chip Avocado Muffins made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to denser muffins.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, followed by the milk to achieve the desired batter consistency; it should be thick but pourable.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
