I loveAvocados from Mexico! I love to eat them plain, make guacamole, cut them up and toss them into a salad, put it on a sandwich...you get the point! It doesn't matter how often I eat it, I never get tired of it. I love the creamy consistency and buttery taste that seems to go with everything! I got to thinking and realized that I never baked with avocado. I read up on it and it states that you can substitute avocados for butter. So I took one of my chocolate cupcake recipes and put it to the test. As far as the taste, you can't tell the difference. As far as texture, it's a little different. I topped them off with some peanut butter icing, gave them to the kids and they were gone in no time at all!
