I have a prolifically producing avocado tree here in south Florida so I tried this recipe. It was really moist and delicious. The cupcakes flew off the tray (right into my family and friends' tummies)! Loved this with the Avocado Buttercream Frosting, but might try the toasted coconut and macadamia nut frosting next.
