Time 30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 very ripe avocado
2 eggs
1 box (15.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ banana nut muffin mix
3/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 to 4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper cupcake wrapper or baking cup in each of 18 regular-size muffin cups.
  • Cut avocado in half; remove pit. Scoop avocado flesh into large bowl; beat until completely pureed. Add eggs; beat until well mixed. Add muffin mix and 3/4 cup milk; mix until smooth batter forms. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or just until muffins spring back when lightly touched in center.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat powdered sugar, melted butter, almond extract and 2 tablespoons of the milk with whisk until icing is smooth and runny. If necessary, add additional milk by half tablespoons until perfect drizzling consistency.
  • Remove muffins from muffin cups; place on cooling rack. Drizzle icing over warm muffins. Serve warm.
