Banana, Mango, Avocado Mini Muffins!

I went to the store today, and I just happen to pick up bananas, mangoes and avocados. I wanted to make something with all three and I came across a recipe for muffins. With a bit of tweaking, I came up with a super easy, super fun recipe!

Banana, Mango, Avocado Mini Muffins
Adapted from: Food.com


Ingredients:
1 mango, cubed
2 bananas (extra ripe)
1 avocado (soft)
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/8 - 1/4 cup molasses
2 3/4 cup flour
1/4 oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 - 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
1/2 - 1 cup dried cranberries



Instructions:                                    
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place bananas, avocado and butter into bowl. Beat in stand mixer until mostly smooth (it won't be perfectly smooth, but that's ok)
3. Add eggs, sugar, molasses.
4. Add flour, oat bran, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla.
5. Add about 1-2 cups dried fruit (I used dates and cranberries, but anything would work) and cubed mango, stir in by hand.
6. Bake in mini-muffin tins for 15 minutes, at 350 degrees.

 NOTE: The dough is a bit gooey-er and runnier than you might expect - that's ok! They'll still bake nicely.
