Muffins with Chocolate Avocado Cream

These are like breakfast muffins as they not too sweet, but the avocado cream makes them seem very indulgent!

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup of milk of choice
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (Kerry Gold butter works well also)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup of blueberries (if you are using frozen do not thaw)
For the Chocolate Avocado Cream
- 2 Ripe Avocados
- 100g chocolate, I used dark
- 1 Tablespoon Oil - Coconut or Olive oil
- 1 ripe banana
- 3 Tablespoons honey or Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven at 180 degrees
Step 2
In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. You can use a food processor, if you do not have access to a food processor, you can mix with a wooden spoon in a bowl. Fold the blueberries into the mixture.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a muffin tray lined with paper cases.
Step 4
Bake for 20 minutes
Step 5
For the chocolate avocado cream, add the ripe avocados, banana, lemon juice and salt to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Step 6
Have a saucepan with water simmering, place a bowl over and add 100g chocolate of choice, and melt the chocolate over the water, once melted , add the honey and the tablespoon of oil to melted chocolate mix. Add the melted chocolate to blender, and blend together until chocolate is well mixed.
Step 7
Once cupcakes are removed from the oven, and let cool for 20-30 minutes, add the cream to the muffins. I used a homemade piping bag with a small food storage bag!
Step 8Add sprinkles of choice or dessicated coconut and enjoy!
Please do let me know if you make these with your children! Have fun, Elaine.
