Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup dark cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 oz dark chocolate
  • 3 avocados, ripe
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips, for topping muffins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two muffin tins with 18 liners. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the dark chocolate in 30 second increments. Stir in between each interval, and microwave until melted. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
  • Scoop insides of avocados, discarding the pits, into the bowl of a stand mixer. On low speed, beat until smooth. Add the buttermilk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and vegetable oil. Beat again until smooth.
  • Little by little, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Drop the muffin batter into the prepared liners, filling them approximately ¾ of the way full. Top with semi-sweet chocolate chips (the more, the better).
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes or so before removing them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
