These brownies are amazing! They are wonderfully moist, are slightly cake-like that are not sweet yet have great flavor. The original recipe is from bitesforbabies. I changed the recipe ever so slightly by adding in the 1/2 avocado and walnuts, and removing the vanilla. (I only omitted it because I didn’t have any and the recipe tastes great without it.)
Dates provide natural sugar, fiber, vitamins A & K, along with other vitamins and minerals as well as help the body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This combined with the good fats from the coconut oil, avocado, flaxseed and walnuts, you are getting a whopping good amount of nutrition.. in a super tasty treat!
I’m so excited about these because everyone in my house loves them.. including the kids! So we all can not only have our treats but feel great about what we’re eating. Ok, you don’t have to sprinkle it with the powdered sugar but it looks pretty!
