These Avocado Toast Cupcakes Are Anything But Basic

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UCF chapter.

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.
