This unusual blueberry muffin recipe incorporates everyone's favorite green creamy fruit. Created by Ali from the food blog Gimme Some Oven, the Blueberry Avocado Muffins are a fruity variation on a classic breakfast treat. This also represents a new and unexpected way to eat avocados.
The moist, light and blueberry-packed snacks contains just a hint of avocado and a tinge of its characteristic green coloring. The muffins are also topped with a streusel crumble. The blueberry muffin recipe is relatively quick to make, taking about 40 minutes total. The oil is essentially replaced by a ripe avocado. So, like brown bananas and banana bread, you can use up a ripe and seeded avocado if you don't want it to go to waste.
