Easy Avocado Brownies. Healthy, extra fudgy, and gluten free! This healthy dessert recipe tastes decadent but is made of simple, wholesome ingredients.

Avocado Brownies

avocado

eggs (at room temperature)

coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)

maple syrup

unsalted butter (at room temperature (to make the brownies dairy free, use coconut oil))

vanilla extract

cocoa powder

Bob’s Red Mill Blanched Almond Flour

espresso powder (optional; will yield

baking soda

salt

dark or semisweet chocolate chips (divided (dairy free if needed))

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper so that two sides overhang like handles. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, place the avocado, eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, butter, and vanilla. Process until it’s completely smooth and combined, stopping to scrape down the bowl a few times as needed so that no chunks of avocado remain.

To the food processor, add the cocoa powder, almond flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Process until smooth. Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips and pulse a few times so that the chips are roughly incorporated.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Place the pan on a wire cooling rack and let the brownies cool for 30 minutes. With the parchment paper handles, lift the brownies from the pan and place them on the rack to cool completely. If time allows, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. (I find that these taste their best and fudgiest the next day.) Slice and serve.

Medjool dates stuffed with peanut butter and coated in dark chocolate. If you like snickers you'll love these vegan snickers stuffed dates! They're deliciously sweet but contain no added sugar, and are super quick & easy to make.

3 Ingredient Snickers Stuffed Dates

Medjool dates, pitted

peanut butter

sugar-free dark chocolate, finely chopped

peanuts (optional)

Fill each pitted date with peanut butter. You'll need about 1/2 tsp of peanut butter for each date, depending on the size of your dates. Place filled dates on a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Put dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt chocolate in the microwave. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.

Line a tray or a large plate with parchment paper.

Take dates out of the freezer. Dip each one in the melted chocolate using a fork, let excess chocolate drip off, then transfer to parchment paper lined tray.

Top stuffed dates with some chopped peanuts if you wish.

Let the chocolate set in the fridge for 30 minutes.

dates, dried ((pitted))

tbsp water ((10 tbsp = 150 ml))

avocado ((medium))

tsp cocao powder

berries

Roughly chop the dates into small pieces.

Chuck them, the maple syrup and water into a food processor and blend until smooth.

Peel and add the avocado and cocoa. The easiest way to peel an avocado is to cut it in half, make a nick on each side and peel it like a banana.

Blend again until creamy.

Quick taste test - if you’d like it a little sweeter than add that tablespoon of maple syrup and quickly blend again.

Now garnish with berries of your choice, raspberries for example. Leave it in the fridge for an hour or so to cool.

These peanut butter oatmeal cookies are thick, fluffy, soft, and made with simple, healthy ingredients! They're gluten free, dairy free, and loaded with chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten-free)

almond flour

rolled oats (certified gluten free)

salt (if pb is unsalted)

eggs, room temperature

coconut oil, melted

tsp vanilla

chocolate chips (I used mini and regular)

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.

In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add in peanut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla.

Add dry ingredients to wet and stir to combine.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place dough on parchment paper. I like to make these large and use about 1/4 cup dough, rolling it into a ball in my hand.

Press chocolate chips into the top, but keep them pretty tall (do not flatten too much, just slightly).

Bake in oven for 9-11 minutes or until slightly golden brown.

Store on counter or in fridge, they also freeze well.

excellent cookies, did bake them for 16 min, however.

Love this recipe! I used Lily's chocolate chips.  They're made with stevia.

Made these for cookie week and my only regret is waiting so long to make them - they are amazing! I love peanut butter and this has the perfect taste of that with great additions. I sprinkled some maldon sea salt flakes after baking and it really brings the chocolate out too, but other than that I followed this recipe to a tee. My future in-laws are coming to spend the holidays with us and I will def have a batch of these waiting.

SO SO GOOD!!! One of the best cookies I’ve ever had and so easy to make. I’m gluten free and I love that so many of your recipes accommodate for that without having to figure out substitutes in my own!

So good! The 1/4 cup made quite a big cookie compared to your photos but who doesn’t love a big whole hand sized cookie?

Unfortunately these were not sweet enough, otherwise a nice healthy recipe

Best healthy cookie I've made and I've made a lot! This had the rise and doughy mouth feel I just love! Thanks for the great recipe!

peanut butter (no sugar added, or sunflower butter

honey

Old Fashioned rolled oats

dark chocolate (2 large squares)

Mix together the peanut butter, honey, oats, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Add a sheet of parchment paper to a 9 x 9 pan. Place the ingredients in the pan and press it into an even layer. Use a small glass to roll over the top to get it smooth.

Freeze the bars for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 20 rectangles (4 x 5 inches) or 40 small rectangles.

In the microwave with short intervals or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate, stirring until it comes together into a glossy chocolate. If using the microwave, use short bursts of 10 seconds or so and stir after each: be careful not to overheat the chocolate or get any water in the chocolate, which will cause it to seize up. When melted, drizzle over the bars and allow to cool.  You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks (or frozen for several months, placing wax paper between the layers).

Thanks to these low-calorie desserts, you can indulge your sweet tooth without ruining your diet. Because nobody should have to give up dessert entirely!
