HOT LUNCH RECIPE WAGON: Avocado Muffins
This recipe is a good way to use overripe avocados that are too mushy to put into salads. The muffins have a gentle flavor, and are good plain or with a bit of honey on top.
½ cup ripe avocado cubes
1 egg
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup granulated brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 5 cups of a muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.
- Put the avocado cubes, egg, milk and orange juice into a food processor and process until the mixture is pureed. Add the four, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and process until mixed.
- Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each of the cups. Tap the muffin tin on the counter a few times to eliminate air bubbles. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when touched. Place warm in foil, pack in a heated lunch tote for a hot lunch.
STORAGE
These muffins will last for about 1 week in your refrigerator.
You can carry your hot lunch in a heated lunch tote.
