Fudgy Avocado Brownies

FUDGY AVOCADO BROWNIES


Avocado brownies??? What?!?!? Not only do avocados add a boost of healthy fats, they also intensify the flavor of chocolate and make these brownies ultra rich, and decadent. These gluten-free treats are so fudgy and moist, you won’t even remember how healthy they are! Additionally, one brownie only counts as
1/2 yellow container and 2 tsp on the 21 Day Fix diet! Now, that is my kind of treat!
