This recipe is based off of my old recipe for chocolate avocado mini muffins, I made a few tweaks to use coconut flour instead of almond flour. I’m also not a huge stevia fan (I don’t like the aftertaste! plus it makes my stomach hurt) so I used honey instead.
Avocado is AMAZING, it is so versatile and always tastes fantastic in chocolate dishes. It adds that creaminess factor (as well as some healthy fats) and you can’t even taste it! These are some of my favorite chocolate muffins.
If you’ve been following my instagram, you knew these were coming! ๐ Sorry for the delay!

These freeze well and can be warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds.

I think I am going to make these tomorrow! As long as I have enough cocoa powder ๐
Yay! Hopefully you have enough- let me know what you think if you get to make them!
Could I replace the coconut flour with oat flour or something similar? If so, would it be a 1 to 1 replacement? Thanks! ๐
Coconut flour is very different from most other flours and really can’t be replaced in a 1:1 ratio. Coconut flour is more absorbent and requires more liquid in a recipe. I can’t say this would work but you could try doing 1/2+ cup of oat flour instead and less egg (start with 1 and add another if needed). Add the milk last and only add a little at a time, you may not need the full 1/4 cup. Since I’ve only made this recipe with coconut flour you may have to play around with it to get the right consistency and taste. If you try this let me know!
Hello. I was wondering if I could replace the applesauce with Banana?
Yeah, that probably would work, I don’t see why not. You may not need as much honey since bananas tend to be sweeter then applesauce. Let me know if you try it! ๐
Made these today. Kids gave them the “thumbs up”. Thanks for sharing
Yay, glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for trying them out and for the feedback.
How many does this make?
It makes 6. Enjoy!
