How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Bites
As a mini dessert, Mint Chocolate Chip Bites are really easy to make. Before you’re ready to mix all of the ingredients together, there’s a little avocado trick. While avocados are amazing to cook with, you’ll want to mash the avocado until there are virtually no chunks. This way, the avocado tastes amazing and it is also the most accurate way to measure a puréed fruit.
Now, you’re ready to combine the rest of the ingredients and of course mix in the chocolate chips. You can’t make Mint Chocolate Chip Bites without chocolate. Right!?!
Baking With Avocados
There’s no food colouring in this mini treat. Instead, it’s given its vibrant green colour from mashed avocados. Yes, avocados.
If you haven’t baked with avocados before, they are amazing in desserts. In this treat, avocado adds a pop of colour, which perfectly compliments the mint flavour. Colour aside, avocado adds a soft, chewy and butter-like texture. But you won’t even taste the avocado. With the added mint and vanilla, all you’ll enjoy is a fluffy two-bite cake.
Mint Chocolate Chip Bites are truly guilt-free. There’s no butter or oil in this dessert. Instead, milk and avocado are used to create a moist and creamy cake that has the perfect balance of lightly sweetened mint batter and melted chocolate chips. No one can resist this quick and easy mint green treat.
