Healthy,Gluten free, low calorie sweet surprise: Fudgy Avocado Brownies

These are super Goeyyy, Fudgyyyy and Yummm!!!! I just can’t believe I made these flourless and low fat brownies…. they turned out awesome😊

Well I had always pictured brownies with loads of butter, cake flour and lots and lots of chocolate…. Didn’t know brownies can taste awesome with avocados in it too … lol. Well who wouldn’t want to enjoy eating brownies without feeling guilty of indulging in it.I am sure that no one will ever come to know that it has avocados until you tell them. You definitely cannot stop after eating one.

Apart from avocados this brownie is without any butter or oil, I guess avocados play the perfect role of butter in this healthy treat.

My husband who is not a big fan of any health foods, did not even come to know that these brownies are made from avocados…. He enjoyed them thoroughly with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and some chocolate sauce. He went on praising them and as usual I smirked as I made him eat something healthy….Yay😉!!

The recipe is super simple and is ready in an hours time. These brownies will last in the fridge for a few days( and are even better after they have been left in the fridge for a day or two) or will keep in the freezer for months.

Enjoy!!
