Avocado is so good, tasty and healthy, got plenty of vitamins C, E, K. It’s good for digestion, for your heart, for your skin, for helping getting down bad cholesterol .. the list is so long it’s impressive.
Also, it’s the perfect substitute for baking when you have some vegan friend you just want to try something different.
So, we were talking about sweet recipes with avocado on Facebook, and it turned out I asked Stéphanie Ford to make one for us when she was having the Bcn bakers meetup.
Sadly the event doesn’t exist anymore but I did keep all the recipe and still use them.
So this special request was a recipe vegan friendly, so no eggs, no butter, no milk … but still so incredibly good, thanks to the avocado.
You should be able to bake 15 cupcakes more or less.
