Oatmeal Mondays and Avocado Continuation



My weekly Monday blog posts normally feature oatmeal based recipes.  But I made these mini chocolate avocado muffins yesterday, and I couldn't wait to talk about them!  I am also out of creative, interesting oatmeal recipes at the moment :(

So these muffins come together in a snap and contain zero butter, zero oil.  The avocado flavor is masked by the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.  Those healthy fats are in there but you can't even taste them!  Perfect for the pickiest of eaters, like my children.  They won't eat an avocado, but they'll scarf down these muffins.

These muffins travel well too.  They are firm, super sturdy treats that won't disintegrate when you bite into them.  No crumbly mess here.  Oh, wait a minute, these will create a mess on the littlest of hands with those gooey chocolate chips though.  Just be sure to pack extra wipes that day :)

FYI: I made 24 standard sized muffins, added water instead of milk, measured out 2/3 C sugar instead of 1 C sugar, and stirred in regular sized semisweet morsels.  The first batch baked for 20 minutes, and the second batch took 23 minutes.  Enjoy!
