Sharing is caring!

I enjoyed converting Mom Foodie’s awesome recipe for Baby Banana Cakes (Mini-Bundts) with Vanilla Caramel Glaze so much into Gluten-Free Mini Banana Cakes that I decided to try another version, only with chocolate and avocado.

That’s right, baby – chocolate and ahhhhvvv-o-cado.  That little green fruit that’s full of healthy fat and fiber.

Don’t worry – you can’t really tell that there is any avocado in there anyway.  Now you might be wondering why even include it.  Well, because I was experimenting.  And experiments are conducted to determine whether or not something works, right?

Well guess what?  It worked!

Now I imagine you could probably just omit the avocado if you’d like.  I haven’t tried it yet – that’s another experiment for another day.

Since they have avocado in them, and since avocados are fruit, does that mean that these qualify as fruit cake?
