Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup (175g) caster sugar
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or canola oil
- 3 tablespoons almond milk
- 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter, warmed to stirring consistency in microwave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup (90g) plain flour
- 3 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
- Pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons almond flakes
- freeze dried raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/fan-assisted 160 degrees C / 180 degrees C/ and lightly oil a 23 X 23 centimeter (9 inch by 9 inch) baking tray. (Silicone is good for this.)
- Mash the avocados in a large bowl using a fork.
- Then add in the sugar, oil, almond milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until combined.
- Then mix in the flour, cocoa powder and salt until combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into prepared baking tray, then scatter almond flakes on the top.
- Bake for approximately 27-30 minutes, until brownie starts shrinking away from the sides of the tin, the centre feels a bit springy and a skewer inserted comes out cleanly. Careful not to overcook – the brownie will firm up as they cool down).
- Take brownies out of oven and allow the brownies to cool completely.
- Sprinkle on the freeze-dried raspberries before cutting and serving.
Notes
- There are 6 Freestyle SmartPoints in a serving of Peanut Butter Avocado Brownies.
- Avocados make the perfect butter or oil substitute in baked goods. To make these brownies vegan, I couldn’t use butter, so avocados were the perfect choice. (This also means these are dairy free brownies.)
- Using avocados lowers the calorie count. Butter has about 4 times the calories compared to an equal amount of avocado. Let’s face it, most of us could do with fewer calories in our daily diets.
