Ingredients for Avocado Banana and Walnut Muffins
- ½ cup mashed avocado (preferably ripe Avocado from Mexico)
- ½ cup mashed ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup low-fat milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (can be swapped with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
- ¾ cup sugar (or substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier choice)

How to Make Avocado Banana and Walnut Muffins
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 12-muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed avocado, mashed bananas, eggs, and milk.
- Mix until the ingredients are fully blended.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk or sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix; this ensures the muffins remain light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add the Walnuts
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts for a nutty crunch.
Step 5: Bake
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffin tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
