2. In a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a blender puree together the avocado, milk, oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. It has to be smooth and creamy without any lumps.
4. Stir in the wet mixture into the flour mix. Do not over mix.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups and bake it for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out with crumbs attached.
