CHOCOLATE AVOCADO Muffins – baby led weaning recipe! These muffins are so moist and creamy because we use avocado and yogurt in them!

Do you know what I love currently about motherhood? We’re starting to snack together!  Looking for a treat that we could both share together I made these Chocolate Avocado Baby Muffins which are a complete hit!

They’re perfect for breakfast and perfect for a snack!  After she finishes her dinner at night, sometimes we both sit down and eat a muffin together!  So these are great for parents, babies, toddlers or just anyone who is seeking a healthy muffin!

Baby Led Weaning Muffin Recipe

These are healthier than usual muffins because we aren’t using any oil or butter.  Instead we’re making them moist and creamy with avocado and yogurt.  Remember my avocado brownies? Yup, super creamy!  So are these muffins!

To keep them more on the healthy side, I do a very light dusting of sugar on top, but it’s up to you!  If you are looking for a more dessert crumble on top use this crumble topping recipe because it’s the best.   Also, never underestimate the power of simple peanut butter!  For breakfast I often have a few of these mini muffins with creamy peanut butter on top – it’s filling and starts the morning off right!

Time to make Chocolate Avocado Muffins!

Mix all your dry ingredients together in a bowl.  For the chocolate taste we’re going to add cocoa powder.  For flour we’re making these muffins more nutritious and using whole wheat flour.

Grab your avocado and remove the seed and skin.   We want the avocado to be creamy so make sure the avocado is ripe that you’re using.

Once you mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients you’re going to have a crumbly muffin mixture.  The mixture won’t be pourable, so you will need to scoop spoonfuls into your mini muffin pan.

Just like that!  Now sprinkle sugar on top if you want!healthy muffins in muffin pan

Bake for 15 minutes and then your muffins will easily pop out of the muffin pan.  Seriously, they shouldn’t stick at all.  They will have  a natural crumbly top and soft muffin inside!

    I would like to try this recipe but I have frozen avocado. An approximation of amount other than “1 ripe avocado” would be helpful 🙂 About how many tablespoons or cups? Thanks!

    I enjoyed this recipe, but I would question why on earth you would add unnecessary salt to a baby led weaning recipe, given how little salt babies and toddlers should have… I made it without the salt and it was great. I also cut down the sugar to 1/3 cup muscovado (unrefined), which worked fine.

    This recipe is amazing! I am not a big fan of avocado but you can’t even taste it. I also do not really like chocolate muffins (I made these for my kids) due to them being really rich in flavor but these were just the right amount of chocolate taste. So good! I doubt they will last longer than 2 days.
