Happy “finally” summer! I love summer, right now it’s wayyyy too humid for my liking. I wouldn’t mind the humidity as much if my hair didn’t frizz. One step outside and it goes from naturally wavy to a lion mane, gotta love it! Anyways, hope you are enjoying your summer right now! Let’s dive into today’s recipe: Gooey Flourless Avocado Brownies!
You guys already know how much we love flourless recipes, especially our zucchini brownies and lemon blueberry blondies! You guys seem to love em’ too, considering that they are some of our most popular recipes. Flourless recipes have the BEST texture, which is somewhat gooey and dense.
So being that our blog name is Athletic Avocado, it is only appropriate to make avocado brownies. I know that there are lots of version of avocado brownies, but this version is unique and inspired by our zucchini brownie base.
Avocado gives these brownies an extra rich and gooey texture, without tasting like avocado. Plus, they give an extra dose of healthy fats too.
