Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth and creamy using a fork or potato masher.
- Add sugar to the mashed avocado and whisk together until well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Crack the eggs into the avocado mixture one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Create a small well in the center of each muffin and carefully spoon a dollop of dulce de leche into each well.
- Use a toothpick or small knife to gently swirl the dulce de leche into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle additional dulce de leche on top of the muffins before serving for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe avocado - it should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Sift your dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, even texture.
- Don't overmix the batter! Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the muffins tender.
- For an extra luxurious touch, use room temperature eggs and butter to help ingredients blend more smoothly.
- Create a beautiful marbled effect by gently swirling the dulce de leche with a toothpick.
- Check muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time to prevent overcooking.
- Let muffins cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect moisture and texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
