Blueberry-avocado muffins

Moist blueberry muffins where avocado takes the place of butter. Perfect for kids, rich in fiber and healthy fats, with a tender crumb and bursts of blueberries.

Ingredients

  • 150 g T55 all-purpose flour
  • 80 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1 piece ripe avocado
  • 100 g fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 60 ml plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp liquid vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection). Line a muffin tin with 4 large paper liners (or 8 small ones).
  2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork in a large bowl until smooth and homogenous.
  3. Add the egg, yogurt, vanilla extract, and sugar to the mashed avocado. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold with a spatula just until the flour is incorporated; do not overmix the batter.
  6. Add the blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw). Gently fold them in with two or three strokes.
  7. Divide the batter among the liners (filling them about 2/3 full). Bake for 18 to 20 minutes: the muffins should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
