Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 150 g ripe banana approx 1-2 small bananas (weighed with skin on)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon honey Can be substituted for maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1.5 Cups plain flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup dark choc chips optional

Instructions

  • Add the avocado, banana, eggs, honey and vanilla to a food processor or blender
  • Blitz until smooth
  • In a large bowl sift the flour and baking powder, if you cant be bothered sifting just make sure you fork through the baking powder so it is well mixed
  • Add the avocado and banana mix to the dry ingredients including the chocolate chips
  • mix gently until just combined (this is the secret of a good muffin texture, do not over mix them)
  • Spoon into a greased or lined 12 hole muffin tin 
  • Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 20-25 mins
  • Leave to cool in the tray before you attempt removing them
  • Serve

Notes

  • If your kiddos are under 1 yr, sub the honey for maple syrup, regular sugar, or even try it with no sweetener at all
  • This recipe is dairy free as long as the choc chips are dark chocolate and dairy free
  • I have tested this recipe with a gluten-free baking mix and it worked well. The baking mix was based on potato flour but also had other ingredients.
  • I find these muffins can brown quite quickly if the oven is too hot, I find 180 degrees celsius on bake, or 160 degrees celsius on fan bake/thermowave is a good temperature
