Fudgy Avocado Brownies

How could you possibly make a more decadent fudge brownie? We’ve got a recipe for that.

These Fudgy Avocado Brownies are perhaps more indulgent than regular brownies since avocados add a boost of healthy fats to the mix, which intensifies the flavor of chocolate making these healthier brownies ultra-rich.

Plus, these treats are gluten-free and so chocolaty and moist, you won’t even remember how healthy they are!
