Tips
Below are tips on making avocado chocolate chip muffins:
Separate wet from dry
Make sure to mix your wet ingredients separately from your dry. This allows for the ingredients to better incorporate without overmixing.
Do not overmix
This leads to very stiff muffins that won’t be fluffy!
Blend the oat flour finely
Using a high power blender will be your best friend in this recipe as we need to finely grind the oat flour. If you can find pre-ground oat flour, then even better! If you don't own a blender, a food processor will work too.
Mash bananas well
This will allow them to better incorporate into the muffins creating moisture.
Grease muffin pan well
Make sure to grease your muffin pan or use reusable silicone muffin cups like I did for my banana avocado chocolate chip muffins
Remove muffins from tin after baking
After your avocado banana chocolate muffins come out of the oven remove them from the muffin pan immediately and place them on a cooling rack to prevent it from cooking further

Replacement for the avocado? Could I use brown sugar or honey instead of maple syrup?

Hi. I have tried your recipie and is so delicious. I was wondering if i could make a cake from this batter?
Thanks

Thank you so much Zahir! I've never personally tried that but I'm sure you could and add some additional time since it's a larger cake format. Poking it every now and then until your toothpick comes out clean but also ensure it doesn't bake for too long to dry it out. Good luck!
Zahir
Thank you 😊
