Guilt Free Gooey Brownies

Trying to eat healthier, but still have a sweet tooth? This is the answer! There is a lot of flexibility with this recipe, and a lot of deliciousness. Guilt free because there is no flour, no sugar and no butter (although I don’t feel guilty about eating butter!)!

Add to a food processor (best option) or a blender (if you don’t have one). I used a Vitamix because that is what I have.

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 C cashews or almond butter, or peanut butter
  • 1/3 C cocoa powder
  • 1 banana
  • 4 dates
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Honey – about a tablespoon, or more if you want a sweeter taste
  • Top with walnuts and chocolate chips (or mix in)
  • Optional (not pictured): Add blobs of cream cheese mixed with honey on top (or mix in)

Spread into a glass baking dish approximately 8 x 8. Top with walnuts.

Bake at 350 15-20 minutes. (I recently acquired an internal thermometer and let the temperature reach 175 F). Allow to cool on a rack and then transfer to the refrigerator. Avoid the temptation to eat now, they are really much better after they get cold!

Enjoy!

Possible additions and/or substitutions: cooked sweet potato instead of banana. Add coconut to the topping. Pecans or other nuts instead of walnuts.

Let me know what substitutions you make!
