Avocado Brownies

Posted 2013-06-27 by aslye ⇒ follow

Why feel guilty when you can have brownies the healthy way? They still still tastes just as rich and delicious.

As a nutrition student, I am a proud avocado advocate! Monounsaturated fatty acids are essential for your body. These are the same fatty acids found in extra virgin olive oil and they are so good for you. These fatty acids in avocado add to its creaminess, which is why these brownies don't taste healthy at all.

Don't worry, I was just as sceptical when I was baking these, but once you try them, there's no going back.
