Dont really understand why people are assuming these would be gross. Avocados are high in fat, and for the most part have a neutral taste when you incorporate other flavors. Fat tends to carry flavor very well. If u think about it, the avocado is replacing the usual fat in the cupcake recipe. (Butter or oil is usually the fat in a cupcake recipe. Avocados carry flavor when ur adding so many other ingredients, so its probably not too overwhelming. These looks fun

I cooked it today and i dont like it Batter are tasty, but for me frosting is too much. Its very sweet and oily, maybe without butter itll be better. BUT my boyfriend like it very much, he ate all cupcakes So thank you for your recipe I think its amazing dessert for really avocado lovers.

to all the people who said avocados are weird as dessert, at first i also thought that avocados are weird as guacamole because here, where i live, we never ever eat avocados as a food-thingy. but i understand that every world has different taste about something. so dont ever judge avocado being put as a dessert.

Instead of butter, I used coconut oil, so all my cupcakes were vegan Refreshing is what one of the best comment I got from one of my friends. Love this recipe Thanks.
