Paleo Avocado Chocolate Muffins
Description
Paleo Avocado Chocolate Muffins use mashed avocado as a fat source combined with eggs, coconut sugar, raw cacao powder, and coconut flour to create a gluten- and dairy-free batter. Baking soda and lime juice provide leavening, while a pinch of sea salt balances flavors. Optional add-ins like chocolate chips, vanilla extract, espresso powder, or cinnamon can customize flavor depth.
The batter is processed until smooth for even texture, then baked in lined muffin tins. The muffins do not rise significantly but develop set, slightly crackled tops that indicate they are cooked through. The crumb is moist and dense from the avocado.
These muffins offer a chocolate-rich treat suitable for paleo diets, with a texture distinct from traditional wheat muffins due to the coconut flour and avocado base. Cooling before removing from liners helps maintain their shape and moisture.
