An unusual combination, to be sure, but one that looks so good I just had to share! I've recently discovered the wonders of avocados, and have been trying to find new ways to enjoy their heart-healthy benefits. Though I haven't yet tried these muffins (from the Kiwi Gardens B&B in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii), I will certainly do so the next time I have some extra avocados on hand. You can save some time by using thawed frozen mango chunks instead of fresh mango. Ingredients:
1 cup mashed banana |
1/2 cup mashed avocado |
1/2 cup mashed mango |
1/2 cup butter |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup sugar |
3 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1/2 cup nuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray medium-size muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Mash fruit and add together. Set aside.
3. Sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder in bowl. In a separate bowl, cream butter, sugar, and beaten eggs well, then add fruit and vanilla; mix. Add flour mixture; mix well.
4. Scoop batter into muffin tin, and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes.
