Double Chocolate Avocado Cupcake | Eggless Cupcake recipe | Healthy Snack recipe

These cupcakes are special. In my attempts to create a healthier version of cupcake with reduced fat and sugar, I chanced upon this recipe and was impressed with the science behind healthy baking discussed there and waiting to try this delicious Double Chocolate Avocado Cupcake. Surprisingly, my partner of this month's Shhh Cooking Secretly Challenge, Sundari gave Avocado as one of my secret ingredients and I knew that is the best chance to try this lovely recipe. I have talked enough about this Superfood - Avocado here and here.In this recipe, creamy, buttery Avocado replaces most of the butter and the result is soft, moist and chocolatey cupcakes. Those chocolate chunks / chips are responsible for the fudgy insides. Hop on for a healthy treat.

Vegan Avocado Smoothie | Avocado Milkshake | Summer Cooler recipe

Avocado is considered as Nature's Superfood and has amazing health benefits including a healthier heart, better skin and also aids in weight loss and treating health problems like diabetes and arthritis.Though it has a high fat content, the calories are actually nutrient-dense calories, made up of monounsaturated fats and Omega-3. Due to its creamy texture, Avocados can be replaced in place of butter in many baking recipes and can be just spread on butter for a quick and healthy breakfast. I had earlier used Avocado to prepare a Guacamole and add it in my Garden Salad. We also enjoy this Avocado milkshake often for a fulfilling breakfast. For a vegan version, I prepared this with Almond milk and it tasted absolutely heavenly!
