I am always looking for ways to be sneaky when it comes to getting veggies into my very picky son and husband. These brownies are the perfect way to sneak in an extra oomph! They are so fudgy and wonderful. They are also easy to make and adapt for those with Gluten, Egg and Dairy allergies! Here’s how I make them!

I start by placing the wet ingredients into the stand mixer. The avocado, sugars, egg, vanilla, water, and milk. I use the whisk attachment to blend it together. This helps the avocado break down and get distributed better into the wet ingredients. (If you wanted to alter this recipe to make it Egg Free….just remove the egg. It isn’t essential to the recipe. You can also substitute a milk alternate like Hemp Milk or Coconut Milk)

Then in a separate bowl I combine the dry ingredients. The flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. I use a whisk to lighten the ingredients and help them get incorporated together. (You can use GF Flour instead of the regular flour if you prefer!)

Then switch to the paddle attachment of the mixer or mix by hand. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet. You just want to mix them to incorporate them. DO NOT OVER MIX! If you prefer more cake like brownies, you can mix more.

Spray your pan with non stick spray. I use coconut non stick spray.

I then use an ice cream scoop to fill my brownie pan holes. It helps the brownies all be similar size.

Bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked all the way through. Allow to cool and then they are ready to enjoy!
