    FUDGY. MOIST. DECADENT.

    These are my ultimate favorite chocolate muffin of all time!

    No butter. No oil. Only good fats from avocado.

    Annnd, satisfies my chocolate craving all day.

    With not much guilt. 

    No one will be able to guess that there is avocado.

    These whole wheat chocolate avocado muffins are easy to make as well. No stand mixers or hand mixers needed. 

    1. You begin by whisking dry ingredients together. 
    2. Melt 3 ounces of chocolate chips in a microwave and then mix in mashed ripe avocado, greek yogurt, egg and vanilla extract. 
    3. Stir in chocolate chips. More the merrier! 
    4. Bake - DO NOT OVER BAKE. Check with a toothpick after 22 -23 minutes, you don't want any batter attached to it and then remove. 

    If you have a kitchen scale, then this is a good time to use. Else, you could go with the cup measurements given.

    Ingredients

    Dry ingredients

    • ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour, scooped and leveled
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line 8 standard muffin cups with paper liners.

    • Stir in remaining 2 ounces (¼ cup + 1 tablespoon) chocolate chips. Divide batter between the 8 muffin cups.
