Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

Recipe from @hazel_and_cacao

Chocolate peppermint has got to be my most favourite Christmas combo. I’ve recently switched to avocado oil in most of my baking. I love @grove.avocado.oil because it’s cold pressed, has a rich buttery taste and is wonderful at keeping the inside moist and delicious. Here is my cupcake recipe, it’s a really fun one for kids!
