Recipe creatorAnett Velsberghas one thats hands-down the cutest baked good ever:matcha chocolate avo-buns.
And then avocados came to mind as a cute green thing to bake.
While these doughy little guys bear the avocado name, you dont need the fruit to make them.

(Which is a good thing since avocados are pretty hard to find right now.)
(Hey, youre not going anywhere anyway!)
After shaping, let the buns prove again until nice and puffy.
That way they wont change their shape in the oven too much.
Add the lukewarm plant milk, yeast, oil, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Whisk until well mixed.
Slowly add in flour until a dough forms.
Remove a quarter of the dough and set aside.
The large piece will be your matcha dough.

Flatten the dough piece slightly and add the matcha and milk mixture.
Knead until uniform, adding more flour as needed.
To make the chocolate dough, flatten the dough pieces and add the cocoa powder and milk mixture.
Knead until uniform, adding more flour as needed.
Cover and let rise 1.5 to 2 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.
When the matcha dough is ready, roll it into a log and cut into 10 even pieces.
Shape each piece to the shape of an avocado and make an indent where the seed will be.
Let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until light and puffy.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Bake the buns for 8 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned.
Decorate buns with edible paint.
Best kept in an airtight container and enjoyed within a day.
