Every Wednesday, my two year old son and I bake something sweet together. Today we made these delicious double chocolate avocado muffins from LLBalanced! This recipe has been a long time favorite of ours, and it was so fun and easy to make with a toddler as my sous chef.
It takes no time at all to throw all of the ingredients into the blender, fill up your muffin tin, and then bake these bad boys. They feel indulgent and rich, and yet if you look at the ingredients, they’re still fine to eat for breakfast or a snack in my chocolate loving opinion.
Hope you love these as much as we do!
Double Chocolate Avocado Blender Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup well-mashed ripe avocado approximately 1 medium avocado
- ½ cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- ½ cup dutch-processed cocoa powder you can use cacao, but it will be a little lighter in color and the flavor isn’t quite as rich
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt pinch
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¾ cup plus ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- Optional: coarse sea-salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-cup cup cake tin with liners. To a high-powered blender or food processor, add all ingredients in the order listed, except chocolate chips. Puree until smooth. Remove blender container from the base then stir in ¾ cup chocolate chips (or 1 cup if using chocolate chunks). Distribute batter evenly among the cup cake liners, Batter will fill tins approximately two thirds of the way. Shake tins gently to even out batter. Sprinkle batter with remaining ⅓ cup chocolate chips.
- Bake time is 22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with just a bit of batter and feels firm to touch.
- Allow to cool in the tin 10 minutes. Your muffins should deflate just a bit but not cave in in the middle. After 10 minutes, use a fork to gently remove muffins from tins. They will still be pretty soft at this point, but they will continue to firm up. Place on a cooling rack and cool another 15 minutes before going to town.
- Keep in the fridge.
