I love how healthy and easy these Avocado, Oat and Chocolate Muffins are to make! Adding vegetables into sweet muffin recipes adds richness of flavour as well as being a healthier source of sugars. The avocado in this healthy muffin recipe adds a delicious creaminess without taking away from the chocolatey flavours! Enjoy warm with a cup of tea or take on-the-go for a snack!

Tip: These muffins are great lunchbox fillers, check out our silicone muffin trays!
