Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F/190 C/170 fan/gas mark 5. Lightly grease a 12-muffin pan or line with paper cases and set aside.
Prepare dry mixture: Using a whisk stir together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and chocolate chips until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Prepare wet mixture: In a large mixing bowl combine the avocado pulp with the eggs, milk, oil, vinegar and vanilla extract and puree until smooth and creamy (I recommend using a stick blender). Stir in the sugar.
TIP: Alternatively puree the mixture in a jug/tall container then transfer to a mixing bowl.
Assemble batter: Stir in the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overstir.
Bake muffins: Spoon the batter into the muffin cases and bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes.
Cool: Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely in the muffin pan.
*Optional. Add chocolate drizzle: In a small bowl combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave briefly until about half of the chocolate has melted. Stir until completely melted then drizzle over the muffins and scatter the pistachios.
