Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- ¼ cup softened butter
- ½ cup mashed avocado
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 + 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup plus 1 tbsp milk (I used coconut milk)
- 1/2-1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ½ cup unsalted baking walnuts (chopped)
- 1/4-1/2 cup shredded coconut
OPTIONAL ICING/GLAZE:
- 1 cup powdered confectioner's sugar
- 1-2 tsp lime juice
- 1-2 tsp coconut milk
- lemon zest to taste
ICING DIRECTIONS:
- Combine powdered sugar with 1 tsp each of lime juice and coconut milk though any dairy or dairy-free milk will work! and beat together using a hand-mixer or a whisk and some serious muscle power! Add extra juice/milk as needed to reach desired thickness and mix in as much or as little lime zest as your heart desires!
- for funsies: mix a handful of freshly pureed spinach leaves into the batter for even greener muffins!

Instructions
- Soften butter.
- Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly grease your favorite standard-sized muffin tin with coconut oil.
- Add lime juice to milk and set aside [it makes a yummy faux buttermilk!] Set aside all cold ingredients to reach room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and grate one teaspoon of lime zest into the bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine avocado and softened butter with sugar and, using a hand mixer, whip until fluffy.
- Add vanilla, milk and lime juice and mix.
- Lastly, add the eggs and wisk until just incorporated.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ones [sifting adds to the fluff factor] and fork-mix just until the batter thickens.
- Fold in the walnuts and coconut and over-stuff your muffin tin to yield 6 muffins with some serious muffin top!
- Grab a baking sheet, place your muffin tin atop it and plop it in the oven. Immediately turn the heat down to 375 and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
