Sugar free Chocolate Brownies to bring a bit of magic to anyway of the week. These are refined sugar & gluten free, paleo friendly & vegan... and made with superfood avocado.
These are the most tasty chocolate brownies I’ve ever made & eaten. They have lovely crispy edges with a super squidgy and fudgy centre. Easy to make and they’re a winner for everyone!
These are made with dates instead of refined sugar or sweeteners. The avocado creates a lovely silky texture and keeps them lovely & moist. They’re made using almond and coconut flour and flax egg.
The ingredients
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp cacao powder
3 tbsp cacao nibs
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 ripe avocado
50g coconut flour
50g almond flour
200g pitted dates
150ml milk

4. Drain the dates and blend in a processor with all the wet ingredients and melted coconut oil, then add that mixture to all the dry ingredients in the bowl.
