My healthier version of chocolate brownies. These rich and fudgy Easy Gluten Free Blender Brownies are made with healthy ingredients including avocado, eggs, coconut oil, cacao and hazelnuts, sweetened with maple syrup. Free from gluten/grains, dairy, soy and refined sugar.

The secret ingredient avocado gives them a fudgey, rich and creamy texture with bonus health points!

Nourish 101:

• This recipe is free from gluten, grains, dairy and refined sugar.
• Made with healthy swaps from such as using avocado and coconut oil in place of butter; maple syrup in place of refined white sugar; nutrient-rich hazelnut meal in place of refined flour and raw cacao powder in place of chocolate.
• With added avocado for nut added healthy fats that support a healthy metabolism and glowing skin.
• Cacao is rich in magnesium and antioxidants and may enhance mood and energy.

This recipe is one I love to make for a quick and healthy treat. I make a batch and keep in my Mitsubishi Electric Refrigerator and when I’m craving chocolate there’s guilt free brownies ready to enjoy. 

Best enjoyed fresh or stored in your fridge for later. Slightly warm when ready to eat to give the brownies a soft and fudge-like texture.
