Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, dry cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and melted milk chocolate until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin compartments, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the extra cocoa powder and extra vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If the mixture is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the icing and adjust the sweetness and cocoa level if necessary.
- Once the muffins are completely cooled, spread or pipe the chocolate avocado icing over the tops of each one.
- Optionally, you can garnish with shaved chocolate, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for added presentation and flavor.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Ensure the avocado is fully ripe for a smooth and creamy icing.
- Use quality cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor in the muffins.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining to ensure an even batter.
- Do not overmix the batter as it can lead to dense muffins.
- Let the muffins cool completely before applying the avocado icing to prevent it from melting.
