These tasty muffins pack in a load of antioxidants from the dark chocolate as well as the creamy, rich taste of the avocado. Avocado is considered the world’s healthiest fruit because of its nutrient contents such as Vitamin K, dietary fiber, folic acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and copper. Moreover, avocados provide us with ‘oleic acid,’ a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol. So, go ahead and dig in to these healthy, tasty muffins!
