Week 23: Avocado - Brownies

I was in the mood for chocolate, and I had something else planned for this week, but when I found this recipe I knew what I had to do.

The avocado is a butter replacement. I added a couple tablespoons of coconut oil because I was dealing with a smaller avocado, but followed the rest of the recipe.

It’s very smooth, and almost fudgey. If you don’t mash and blend enough, you will have flecks of avocado, but I couldn’t taste the green fruit. I think next time I’d add instant coffee since I love the depth it brings to brownies.

I am a butter user, and if I need to substitute it, I go for coconut oil. This is a great use of extra avocados if you bought too many on a sale. Or if you want healthy fats and don’t want to use up all your coconut oil.
