Dark Chocolate Avocado Blueberry Muffins: Boost antioxidants and satisfy sweet cravings

These creamy Paleo blueberry muffins are packed with avocado, blueberries and dark chocolate – an antioxidant dream!

If you want the perfect muffin, look no further – these Chocolate Avocado Blueberry Muffins are going to be your new favorite treat! Made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, these muffins are bursting with tart blueberries and loaded with rich, double chocolate.

A single ripe avocado is the secret to making these muffins ultra-creamy. Avocados are flavorless and loaded with monounsaturated fat, so they make the perfect stand-in for baking oils. When avocados are mixed with raw cacao powder, it becomes a decadent chocolate pudding – perfect for creamy muffins!

This recipe is lightly sweetened with coconut sugar, blueberries and chocolate chips, but you can adjust the sweetness by adding or subtracting the coconut sugar and chocolate chips.

Feel free to substitute other berries, like raspberries or strawberries, for the blueberries. Just be sure not to add any more than ¼ cup! Too many berries will make the batter wet, and the muffins won’t rise.

These avocado blueberry muffins make for a yummy sweet breakfast, dessert, or on-the-go snack. Keep them fresh by storing them in the refrigerator up to a week or in the freezer one month.
