Why you must try these brownies

When I originally created this chocolate avocado brownies recipe, my husband, Lawrence, had recently started a gluten-free diet. He’s no longer following this diet, but I am, and so I welcome any scrumptious gluten-free desserts. 

Before creating this brownie recipe, I’d never really delved into gluten-free baking before. Let’s just say my first few experiments with baking and making brownies were ultimate flops. Lawrence was nice enough to pretend to like them, though!

Now, years later, I consider this recipe to yield the best homemade brownies. I’ve served them to friends and family, and they loved this avocado brownie recipe!

Now, read on to find out why the avocado walnut brownies are good for you.

Ingredients

Brownies that are nutritious? Yup, it’s possible, and these chocolate and prune brownies are just that. Here are the ingredients I used to make chocolate avocado brownies.

Prunes: Making brownies with prunes reduces the need for added sugar while adding bone-helping minerals. And prunes are gluten free.

Avocado: I’ve really gotten into cooking with avocados recently.The avocados replace any need for butter or coconut oil while providing heart-healthy fats. 

Walnuts: The walnuts add a lovely crunch and add filling fiber to these gluten free chocolate brownies.

Unsweetened cocoa powder: This is one of my favorite ingredients, as it contains no added sugar and lots of health-helping polyphenols. Plus, the cocoa and prunes in the healthy avocado brownies make it so that you can’t taste the avocado.

You’ll also see that these easy avocado brownies have minimal added sugar, with no maple syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, or dark chocolate chips.

Eggs: The eggs bind everything together and add protein, as well!

Gluten-free flour: This recipe utilizes an all-purpose gluten-free flour, which makes the brownies gluten free.
