TGIF! Right? Yes! It is Friday. Such a good day of the week. And today is especially beautiful outside, here in NYC. Today I wanted something different. Not necessarily healthy, but not necessarily unhealthy either. Something I could eat and still want to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. These Avocado Cupcakes (recipe below from Will Cook for Smiles) caught my eye. A little different, a little sweet, a little savory and a little…well…green?? Why not?!
The cupcakes are smooth and creamy and borderline greasy. They have a smooth, lightly sweet avocado flavor.
The frosting is smooth and creamy. It has a sweet vanilla cream cheese flavor. Simple. Sweet. Cream cheese.
The cupcake is light and smooth. An ideal texture for a cupcake. The frosting is the strongest flavor. The cupcake gives it an almost fake taste though. Like it was a flavoring, and not real. It’s very interesting. Not bad, but any means, just interesting.
