Berry Chocolate Avocado and Yogurt Cupcakes Recipe
I’m calling these cupcakes because I put Cream Cheese Frosting on them. They’re indulgent, but in a good-for-you kind of way. Because they’re trying to be healthy. And, compared to many a cupcake, they totally are. And you can’t even tell. I replaced the butter/eggs/oil/milk with Avocado and Yogurt, added some berries and distracted the kids with the chocolate and frosting, all while cutting down the sugar by 1/2 of most cupcakes! This Berry Chocolate Avocado and Yogurt Cupcakes Recipe will please everyone in the house – even Dad who knows there is -gasp- an avocado in the mix.
