Avocado Brownies with a Peanut Butter Swirl

Avocado Brownies with a Peanut Butter Swirl- – A whole bunch of chocolate-lovin’ goodness packed into a simple brownie. Pureed avocado gives these a moist texture and they are sweetened with honey, instead of regular sugar!

It’s FriYay! Time for brownies. 🍫 Super fudgy brownies that are still keeping with our no refined sugar posts this month.

Ingredients List:

• Avocado: Be sure it’s soft, fresh, and ripe. Nothing is worse than a dry avocado that won’t puree. Trust me, I know this firsthand. 😉
• Eggs
• Honey
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Flour : I used whole wheat for ours, but, regular white flour will do just fine.
• Salt+ Baking powder+ Vanilla
• Additional for swirl: Creamy peanut

Recipe Notes:

• The peanut butter swirl is optional. If you don’t wish to add it, they are delicious without it. If peanut butter isn’t your thing, swirl it with salted caramel sauce or chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella) instead!

• You could also add any multitude of mix ins: chocolate chips, nuts, cookie bits, M & M’s, pretzels, potato chips…just about anything you heart desires.

Alternate way of mixing: The recipe instructions are to mix all the ingredients in your food processor. If you don’t have one, you can simple puree the avocado with your blender or stick blender. Then, in a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, honey and puree. Add in dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Then, continue recipe as stated.

Enjoy-
