A five a day worth going heathly for
Fancy getting one of your five a day in with some brownies?? These soft centred brownies are moist and will give most store bought brownies a run for their money! Made with natural coconut sugar and avocado, these make being healthy a whole lot easier!
How to prepare
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter melted
- 1 free range egg
- 2 Tbsp of water
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup of gluten free flour - I use coconut flour
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate drops from Hotel Chocolat
- 1 handful of chopped walnuts
Method
- Preheat your oven whilst preparing the brownie mix to 180 C.
- Line a cake tin with some baking paper or tin foil.
- In a large bowl, mash avocado very well with a fork. Then place in your food processor. Add the melted butter, egg, coconut sugar, water, and vanilla, and whizz together until a smooth mixture is formed.
- Place mixture in a large bowl and add cocoa powder and stir until fully incorporated and free of any large lumps.
- Then stir in flour and finish by sprinkling in some dark chocolate chunks/chips with walnuts.
- Pour evenly into baking tin and topped with remaining dark chocolate and walnuts.
Pour evenly into baking tin and topped with remaining dark chocolate and walnuts. Bake for 35 minutes until the top has set and turned crispy. Allow Brownies to cool fully before cutting into squares. This can take up to 30 minutes! Patience
Gently one by one remove brownies from the foil. This recipe should make 6 brownies. Store in an air tight container and they will stay fresh for 5 days.
Enjoy!
* Weekend Dessert tip - Heat the brownie in the microwave for 20 seconds. Pour over some Alpro Soy yogurt and thank me later!
