Recipe originally shared by my friend Lisa at Low Carb Yum.
A low-carb muffin recipe that calls for avocado. Really? It’s not as odd as it sounds! Packed with healthy fats, avocado makes these chocolatey muffins so rich and moist.

Ingredients (makes 8 muffins)
Dry ingredients:
Wet ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe avocados (250 g/ 8.8 oz)
- 15 to 20 drops stevia
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp coconut milk or heavy whipping cream (30 ml)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional). Halve, deseed, and peel the avocados and place them into a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Sift together the coconut flour, almond flour, and cacao powder. Add the erythritol, cinnamon, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix well.
- Add the liquid stevia, eggs, coconut milk, and pureed avocado and process until well combined.
- Finally, roughly chop the chocolate and add to the mixture. Reserve a few pieces for topping.
- Scoop the muffin batter into a silicon muffin pan or a regular muffin pan lined with paper cups greased with a small amount of coconut oil or ghee.
- Top with the reserved chocolate pieces and place in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops are crispy and the muffins are firm.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool on a rack before serving. Keep at room temperature covered with a kitchen towel for up to three days or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for longer.
