I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of avocado toast by now. We’ve seen things from poached eggs to grilled peaches on top of the nutrient-packed super fruit, and at this point, it can get slightly nauseating. But I admit, every now and then, I cave in and indulge as a guilty pleasure.
Instead of filling up your Instagram feed with yet another #avotoast, make these avocado toast cupcakes instead, which fuses dessert and breakfast into a tangy, creamy concoction. And it’s all semi-homemade, which means you can spend less time baking and more time eating. Sandra Lee would be hella proud.
Chocolate Cupcakes with Avocado Buttercream
Ingredients
Instructions
Make chocolate cake mix according to instructions on the box. Be sure to divide batter into a muffin tin and bake as directed.
In a separate bowl, mix together the avocado flesh and the juice from both lime halves. Try to get rid of as many chunks as possible.
Add the powdered sugar and butter and mix until smooth and creamy. Add more sugar if the mixture is runny.
Transfer frosting to a resealable plastic or piping bag, and swirl the frosting on top of cooled cupcakes.
