Avocado Brownies

In my search to find new and different dessert recipes I came across this one on-line and had to try it out. I don't have a sweet tooth but this was really good. I did reduce the amount of sweetener for my taste. See recipe below. 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup dark chocolate
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup avocado (2 large or 4 small)
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
1/2 cup honey (I put a bit over a 1/4 cup)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

I melted my dark chocolate over the stove and then just put everything in my food processor to make a nice puree. I poured this in a glass 8 x 8 pan and bake at 350°F for about 35-45 minutes. I was quite surprised and how moist it was and very tasty. It was just the right sweetness for me and family approved. Give it a try, they are gluten free, dairy free and paleo friendly.

Avocado Pudding

Since going gluten free I've been trying to find different options for dessert. Tried making avocado pudding and it turned out pretty good. Please do not try this thinking that it will be as sweet and on the same scale as pudding. Keep an open mind when trying this and remember that you've removed all the gluten and dairy and substituted sugar with agave. Here is the recipe:

2 avocados
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 almond milk
agave syrup to taste
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract

This is a tweak to some recipes that I have found on-line. I think that next time that I make it I will reduce the cocoa powder because it is a bit overpowering for my taste but still a success and will satisfy a sweet craving. Give it a try! :)
