Health Benefits of Using Avocado to Make Chocolate Avocado Cupcakes

The ingredient that makes this recipe so delicious, moist, and of course, healthy… avocados!

Avocados are not only delicious but they’re also packed with some pretty awesome health benefits. Here are a few to keep in mind:

Heart Healthy

Avocados are great for your heart. They’re loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol levels and keep your heart healthy.

Digestive Support

Avocados can also help keep your digestion on track. Thanks to their fiber and healthy fats, they help regulate digestion and keep you from getting constipated.

Brain Power

Did you know that avocados can also boost brain function? It’s true! The healthy fats in avocados are good for your brain and may reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Better Eyesight

Avocados are also great for your eyes. They’re rich in antioxidants like lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E, which protect your eyes from damage and keep your vision sharp.

Anit-Inflammatory

If you have joint pain, avocados can help there too. The anti-inflammatory compounds in avocados, like antioxidants and healthy fats, can reduce inflammation and improve joint health.

Weightloss

Avocados are a great choice for weight management. They’re high in nutrients and low in calories, making them a great option if you’re trying to maintain a healthy weight.

Improved Skin

No surprise, avocados are also good for your skin. The healthy fats and antioxidants in avocados nourish your skin and help keep it looking young and healthy.

How to Make These Delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Avocado Cupcakes

Here’s how you can make delicious and dairy-free chocolate avocado cupcakes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, coconut sugar or maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Mix until you have a smooth and velvety mixture.

Add in the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined.

In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and vanilla extract, then pour it into the cupcake mixture, along with the almond or coconut milk. Stir until everything is well combined.

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frost as you desire and enjoy!

Time-Saving Tip:

To whip these up quickly, use a blender to mix the wet ingredients. Then mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine.
