They are also:

• plant-based

• filling

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 avocado
• 1 orange (whole including skin)
• 1/4 c raw local honey or pure maple syrup
• 1/4 c non-dairy milk or melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 c whole wheat flour
• 1/3 c oats
• 1/4 c cocoa powder
• 1/4 c cacao powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Spray 9 muffin holes with olive oil spray & set aside.
3. Slice your avocado and orange into smaller pieces.
4. Add all wet ingredients to a food processor. Process until everything is broken down and combined.
5. Add in your dry ingredients. Process until everything is combined.*
6. Distribute your batter among the 9 muffin holes. Smooth the tops with a spoon.
7. Bake for 18 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from pan.**

*If your food processor is too small to hold everything, after processing your wet ingredients add in your oats and process again. Then transfer everything to a mixing bowl, add in the rest of your dry ingredients and whisk.

• I topped mine with prepared powder peanut butter. And ate them after refrigerated because I think they taste best chilled. Allow a few hours for all the flavors to settle before eating.
