Description
Forget everything you know about crumbly, dry Passover baking. 🧁✨ We’re officially trading the ‘matzah-mouth’ for these ultra-moist Avocado Pistachio Chocolate Chip Muffins! While the avocado works behind the scenes to replace heavy butter with heart-healthy fats, the spinach gives these gems a stunning naturally-green glow that’s perfect for a spring Passover snack. They’re loaded with a satisfying pistachio crunch and enough melty chocolate chips to make you forget there’s a single veggie inside. Whether you’re fueling up for a long day of holiday prep or just need a treat that actually tastes like a treat, these are the ‘stealth-health’ winners your kitchen needs this year! 🥑🌿🍫

You can substitute chopped almonds for the pistachios.
If you can’t find mini chocolate chips, just use the regular sized ones.
Don’t have almond milk handy? You can make it with my recipe! Homemade Almond Milk.
If you can’t find mini white chocolate chips, use the regular sized ones or leave them out.
Can’t find pure vanilla extract for Passover, use the imitation. It will be fine.
Don’t have avocado oil? Use olive oil. It will be great.
