Fudgey chocolate muffins made with avocado and sweetened with dates and an apple! These healthy paleo chocolate muffins taste almost like brownies and are so delicious! They can be stored in the freezer for future breakfasts or desserts.
I guess I polished off the last stash of my raw brownie bites yesterday, because I spend a good amount of time searching for that one last one, that I thought I had saved…. guess not, whoops!
In order to get my daily chocolate dose, I resorted to the fact that my brownie bites were gone and it was time for a fresh batch of something chocolatey.😋
chocolate avocado muffin time
These chocolate avocado muffins are basically leftovers in muffin form.
It’s been a bit too long since I’ve been to the grocery store.😬
So instead of making the trek and putting in the effort to go shopping, I decided to make lazy day chocolate muffins.
And I’m pretty glad I did, because these fudgey avocado muffins could be a brownies first cousin!
So, so good and definitely a good pick to put on the menu this week.
P.S. this is the muffin pan I used for this recipe.
The wonderful thing about life is balance, right?
Salads for breakfast one day, then chocolate avocado muffins the next?
Anyone else, or is it just me? 🙂
Chocolate Avocado Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado pitted, peeled
- 1/2 cup medjool dates pitted
- 1 medium apple cored and diced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Generously grease a standard muffin pan with coconut oil.
- In a food processor combine all ingredients (except baking soda and chocolate chips) until smooth. Add baking soda and pulse until combined.
- Use a large ice-cream scoop and fill the muffin pan about 3/4 the way up (almost to the top). Sprinkle the tops with chocolate chips (optional) and bake on 350F for 30-35 minutes until cooked. You will know they are finished cooking when a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Makes 9-10 muffins.
