Vegan Chocolate Stuffed Muffins

Followed Joy the Baker's Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cake recipe, but made muffins and stuffed them prior to baking.

 

 For the Muffins:
3 c A-P flour
6 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 c soft avocado, about 1 medium avocado
2 c water
2 T vinegar
2 tsp vanilla extract For the Filling:

Cherries, equal to amount of muffins

Walnuts, chopped

• Pit each cherry
• Stuff with chopped walnuts

 Make the Muffins: 

• Process avocado, water, vinegar, sugar, oil, and cocoa in food processor until smooth.
•  Add vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda. Process until smooth.
• Add flour. Pulse to combine.
• Scoop 1 T batter per muffin container. Place stuffed cherry in center and top with 1 to 1 1/2 T of batter, until cherry is completely covered. Fill with enough batter that there is no mound in the center.
• Bake 350F for 15-18 minutes.
