Deliciously moist and fudgy Chocolate Avocado Muffins that combine the richness of chocolate with the creaminess of avocado for a healthier twist on classic chocolate muffins. Perfectly balanced with cocoa, chocolate chips, and a hint of vanilla, these muffins are an ideal treat for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup mashed avocado (about 1 medium)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (more, if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with 5 paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, add the egg, mashed avocado, sugar, light brown sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved completely.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients along with the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use a spoon to gently mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners. Optionally, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an extra chocolatey crunch.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 24 to 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake to maintain moistness.
  7. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool before serving. This helps the muffins set and enhances texture.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overbake the muffins as this will dry them out; the toothpick test is the best indicator.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make the recipe dairy-free.
  • For a stronger avocado flavor, use ripe Haas avocados.
  • The recipe yields 5 muffins; adjust quantities accordingly for more servings.
