    Double Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins

    Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins. Fluffy, moist and perfect for dessert or as a snack! These muffins are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. This recipe is Gluten-Free.

    Gluten Free

    These banana avocado chocolate chip muffins are gluten free as they are made with gluten free oat flour. This makes the muffins more fibrous as well! They're also great for those who have gluten allergies if you can find the gluten-free kind.

    Easy chocolate avocado muffins

    My chocolate avocado muffins recipe is so simple and easy to make! You’re simply mixing your wet and dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and then scooping a portion into a muffin tray to bake. That’s it! I will teach you how to make Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins in the recipe card below.

    Double Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins

    What you’ll need

    The below ingredients are required for my banana avocado chocolate muffins. Please scroll down to the below Recipe card for full measurements:

    Dry:

    • gluten-free baking flour
    • rolled oats, blended into a fine flour
    • cocoa powder
    • baking soda
    • baking powder
    • salt

    Wet:

    • Ripened bananas
    • Ripened avocado
    •  maple syrup
    • egg
    • coconut oil, melted
    • vanilla extract
    • mini dark chocolate chips

    Required: blender or food processor

    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

    FAQ

    Below are frequently asked questions about this healthy chocolate avocado muffins recipe:

    How long will these muffins last?

    If stored in an airtight container, they should last 4-5 days. I would recommend refrigerating them by Day 3 to prevent bacteria growth.

    Can I use dairy?

    Yes!

    Can I use real flour?

    Yes.

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

        You can use banana to sub in for the avocado. Yes you may use brown sugar/honey instead of maple syrup.

        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!
