Who doesn’t love brownies? But we often get intimidated by the amount of butter/oil and sugar and with that, hell lot of calories that these store bought treats have that we would rather skip. This brownie made with wholesome ingredients like avocado and honey is sure to be a crowd pleaser as well as satisfy anyone who is looking for options of healthy treats. So without much ado, let me jump straight to the recipe.

Ingredients

• ½ cup mashed banana/ applesauce.

Instructions

• In a blender or food processor, blend together the eggs, avocado, banana and honey + cocoa or honey + cocoa + protein powder. I used honey + cocoa + protein powder in this recipe.
• In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together and add it to the wet mixture in the blender and blend at a low speed setting.
• Adding vanilla is optional but highly recommended to mask the smell of avocado.
