Double chocolate avocado muffins

This recipe comes form the muffin tin mania blog.  It was interesting to find out that there is another person who is addicted to his muffin tin :). When I saw avocado in one of the recipes I have decided to try it out. When I tasted the muffins I was surprised not to taste any avocado. Personally I think hiding vegetables in a cakes is a brilliant way to introduce veggies to the children. I have to say my girls had no clue that something healthy is hiding inside their pudding. Those muffins were tasty, very chocolaty we really enjoyed them.

Ingredients for 12 muffins:

• 240 whole wheat flour
• 60g cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, cloves, cinnamon, baking powder, soda, salt into a big bowl and whisk well.

Peel off the avocado, remove the stone and put into blender. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil* and vanilla and blend until smooth.

* coconut oil turn into butter in room temperature you have to meld it down to turn it back into liquid

Express way chocolate dessert

This is chocolate heaven. Perfect, divine ... and extremely easy to make. I think every chocoholic would be delighted. It is crunchy on the top with melted chocolate hiding inside. It can be transferred on the plate but for some reason I couldn't do this with mine. But I think they looked lovely hiding in ramekins.

Ingredients for 6 desserts:

• 300g chocolate
• 100g butter
• 130g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 60g flour
• pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 200. Grease ramekins and set aside.

Put the butter and chocolate chunks into a bowl and melt the together. You can put the bowl into microwave or place the bowl on top on the pot with hot water. Stirring all the time. When chocolate and butter are melted put the bowl aside.

Break the eggs and place the in separate bowl, add the sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. Then add the melted chocolate and stir. At last but not at least stir in the flour and salt. 

Pour this thick mixture into the ramekins. Insert into oven for 15 - 20 minutes. 

The batter will rise a lot while baking then will decline  a little bit. 

You can serve them warm with an ice cream or a whipped cream.

Enjoy !
