Hey sweet friends! Happy Saturday! It's hot and rainy here in the Palmetto state. Whenever it's rainy out I love to bake. It's incredibly relaxing, and just plain fun. Now y'all know that I am a gluten free, wheat free, processed sugar free, saturated fat free, ingredient lists longer than a short paragraph free, words I can't pronounce free, girl. Food should be simple and straightforward. Just a few yummy ingredients can make a delectable guilt free treat that will put your sweet tooth at ease.
Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Separately, quite tasty. Together, a gift from the heavens. Today I have a guilt free recipe that combines both, plus a couple of other, dare I say healthy, ingredients! Gluten and guilt free chocolate peanut butter avocado muffins!
Yes, avocado... in a baked good.
Don't run away. Trust me on this. You won't even know the avocado is there! Of course, if you love avocado you're as giddy about this recipe as I am. It's brilliant really.. we get to have our cake and eat it too, all while still feeling skinny. Oh yes, and still looking skinny too! Hey, i've got your back here. I'm actually sitting here eating these muffins as I write this. These as in all. of. them.
I regret nothing!
CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MUFFINS
What you will need:
1 medium avocado
2 eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat over to 350˚ and grease a cupcake pan ( I used coconut oil ). In a medium size mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and beat on medium speed until well combined. If you have a food processor you can toss everything in there and blend it until the smooth, but thick batter forms. Fold in the chocolate chips + anything else you want! Walnuts or almonds would be delicious!
Spoon batter into your greased cupcake pan and place in your 350˚ over for 8 to 10 minutes. Let muffins cool and then enjoy!
These muffins, or cupcakes (whatever you like to call them!) are just a touch sweet, just a touch chocolate-ty, and a touch peanut buttery. Makin' up my own words now. If you like your sweets a smidge sweeter than a touch just add a little extra honey or agave nectar. You'll be set!
This is a recipe that you can play around with a bit so have fun with it. Use cashew butter, or even almond butter! Throw some nuts or white chocolate chips in there. Get creative! Happy eating, my people!
What is your favorite chocolate treat?
