Chocolate Avocado Muffins

Chocolate and avocado, what odd combinations right? Wrong! Avocados are way more versatile than you think. There is more then they can do than just be added to guacamole or spread on toast. Avocados are so great to add into baking as they’ll enhance the texture and make it more moist. It can also be a great substitution for butter or oil. I’ve personally still used oil/butter in this chocolate avocado muffins recipe, but you’ll notice there’s a lot less in this chocolate avocado muffin recipe then you may find in other, typical muffin recipes. Thanks to the avocado!
