Healthy Avocado Brownies

Healthy Avocado Brownies

Who would have thought you could make brownies with avocado?!  Avocados are full of healthy fats and increase the creaminess of recipes. Plus they increase the chocolate flavor.  Avocado makes these brownies full and fudgy tasting.  They taste just like a ‘normal’ brownie! So if you are looking for a healthier version of regular brownies, try these healthy avocado brownies.

These are AMAZING when you are craving chocolate or a sweet treat and really kick the sweet tooth!

BEWARE!!  This batter is AMAZING and you might want to eat it all. Because I did , the batter was always the best part right?!

This is a treat but it is much better than regular brownies or other baked goods out there!
