Whole Wheat Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins

Sharing is caring!

I was searching for recipes from Avocado when I landed on this Avocado Banana Muffins recipe. I love this recipe because it uses honey instead of sugar and that too is very little. The sweetness comes from Banana’s, so be sure to use very ripe Banana’s which will impart its natural sweetness. I did do a few changes in the recipe to make super moist and delicious Whole Wheat Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins.

I did replace the all-purpose flour in this Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins with whole wheat flour and also added some cocoa powder to make it more chocolaty and appealing to my kids. This recipe is toddler friendly too, so easy to give them something healthy. If you do not want cocoa powder for the toddler, simply replace it with whole wheat flour.

It would be true these Whole Wheat Chocolate Avocado Banana Muffins were not sweet, two reasons are because I used whole wheat flour, which according to my experience cuts the sweetness and secondly I added cocoa powder to the original recipe. So I tweaked without adding any more sweetener. But this was perfect for me to have as a snack or even in my morning breakfast. Lol, I just need an excuse to eat chocolate 😛 😛

And why not when it does not contain any butter or oil. Oh did I not mention that, yes it is oil and butter-free, so what can we ask more in a cake or a muffin?

To serve it as a dessert to guests, I would warm them a bit, add some chocolate sauce and a dollop of fresh cream or Ice Cream and a perfect dessert is ready in minutes. These muffins freeze well, so even if they are left, do not worry, just freeze. Pop them in the microwave when you feel like eating one and you are sorted without any extra hassle.

So here goes the Recipe

Was very excited to try this....followed the recipe exactly. They turned out dry and completely tasteless. Not sure what happened but will not be trying again.

Hi Bella, Sorry to hear that. But the recipe is not a normal muffin recipe. It is not made with all-purpose/plain/maida flour. Hence the muffins would be dense as compared to normal flour. Secondly, If you are looking for sweeter muffins, or as the normal muffins, this would not be that. As the sugar is here is very less and most of them comes from bananas. It might be that your bananas were not ripe enough and your flour absorbing more moisture. In that case, if you wish to try again, you can increase the egg by 1 or add 1/4 cup of milk. Hope that helps.

I love this idea for a vegan and gluten free muffin, I've used avocado before in baking but not as much as I should given the nutritional bonuses...plus your always get a much more moist sponge at the end of the bake - delicious

These sounds wonderful Renu! I haven't done any baking with avocado yet but it sounds like it works a treat especially in combination with chocolate. My kids love all the bakes with bananas so am sure they would like these little rascals. :) Thank you for sharing with #BakingCrumbs :)
