Double Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

If there is one thing I could never turn down, it’s a deliciously moist double chocolate cupcake. Especially when they are this healthy and made from scratch. Full of chocolate flavor, these cupcakes are super fluffy and light; topped with a silky smooth chocolate frosting. The coolest thing is that the frosting is made out of avocados.

Yup, that is correct, this deliciously creamy frosting is made out of ripe avocados. If you haven’t tried an avocado based frosting yet, trust me, it’s incredible! I actually use avocados quite a lot in my desserts and they are absolutely amazing. The texture is smooth, they are packed with lots of healthy fats, and they have a very neutral flavor that works well in desserts.

Here are some examples:

Vegan Double Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

Here is what you need to make the perfect avocado chocolate frosting:

  • ripe/soft avocados
  • softened pitted medjool dates (sub with maple syrup if preferred)
  • unsweetened plant-based milk
  • raw unsweetened cacao powder
  • optionally you can add nut butters if you like a nutty flavor in your chocolate frosting.
  • a food processor/high speed blender.

Simply add all ingredients into your food processor and process for a couple minutes until completely smooth. At this point you could theoretically transfer it into a bowl and just start digging in. I wouldn’t blame you as I’ve done it myself 😛

If you can resist this urge, top your delicious muffins with this insanely good frosting and enjoy. Don’t forget to leave some for your family and friends. They will thank you for it.
