Notes
When I don't have any chocolate chips to hand I either leave them out or use cut up baking chocolate.
Bake in two 6×4 mini bread pans for approximately 60 minutes
Makes 14-16 cupcakes and bakes for approx 30 minutes
* Alternatively, substitute the nut butter with 1 medium avocado and use an extra egg. Bake at 160ºC.
