These Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Muffins are a healthier take on classic chocolate muffins, combining creamy avocado, Greek yogurt, and whole wheat flour for a moist, fudgy treat.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (can use white whole wheat if desired)

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. Truvia Baking Blend or about 3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup chocolate chips

1 avocado, mashed well (about 1/2 cup)

1 5.3-oz container fat-free plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fat-free milk

1/4 cup canola or coconut oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 cup chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Truvia Baking Blend (or sugar), cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix well.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, fat-free milk, canola or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the Wet to the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to dense muffins.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  7. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To make these muffins dairy-free, use non-dairy yogurt and plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.

For a sugar-free version, use a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.

Feel free to add nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.

Mini muffins can be made by using a mini muffin tin, adjusting the baking time to about 10-12 minutes.
