Ingredients

1 ripe avocado
150 g ripe banana approx 1-2 small bananas (weighed with skin on)
2 eggs
2 tablespoon honey Can be substituted for maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1.5 Cups plain flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup dark choc chips optional

Instructions

Add the avocado, banana, eggs, honey and vanilla to a food processor or blender
Blitz until smooth
In a large bowl sift the flour and baking powder, if you cant be bothered sifting just make sure you fork through the baking powder so it is well mixed
Add the avocado and banana mix to the dry ingredients including the chocolate chips
mix gently until just combined (this is the secret of a good muffin texture, do not over mix them)
Spoon into a greased or lined 12 hole muffin tin
Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 20-25 mins
Leave to cool in the tray before you attempt removing them
Serve
Yum

Notes

If your kiddos are under 1 yr, sub the honey for maple syrup, regular sugar, or even try it with no sweetener at all
This recipe is dairy free as long as the choc chips are dark chocolate and dairy free
I have tested this recipe with a gluten-free baking mix and it worked well. The baking mix was based on potato flour but also had other ingredients.
I find these muffins can brown quite quickly if the oven is too hot, I find 180 degrees celsius on bake, or 160 degrees celsius on fan bake/thermowave is a good temperature
