A healthier take on classic brownies are these Blender Avocado Fudge Brownies. Rich chocolate flavor is imparted by the dark chocolate chips and cocoa powder, while the avocados offer a creamy texture and beneficial fats. They are made without gluten and sweetened with maple syrup or natural honey.
Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup. 2 eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup almond flour. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Put the eggs, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, ripe avocados, and cocoa powder in a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth. To the blender, add the baking powder, salt, and almond flour. Blend one more until everything is thoroughly mixed. By hand, stir the dark chocolate chips into the brownie mixture. An 8 x 8-inch 20 x 20 cm baking pan can be lined with parchment paper or greased. Evenly distribute the brownie batter after pouring it into the pan. For 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, bake in a preheated oven. Take the brownies out of the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for ten or so minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cut into squares and enjoy after they've cooled!
