A few nights ago I was trawling through Bloglovin' and found a recipe for dairy free brownies. Without thinking, I took a photo of the ingredients on my phone, but didn't note down who's it was, I've changed this slightly to fit what I had in my pantry but if the base of this recipe is yours, then thank you, because it's so scrummy and dairy free!
It makes the most delicious, fudgey brownies. Don't let the photos make you think that they're cakey, no siree, they're ooey and gooey and sans butter!
1 medium avocado
1 large egg
1.5 breakfast cup of granulated sugar (I'm going to try it with sweetener soon)
3/4 breakfast cup of cocoa powder
1/4 breakfast up of plain flour
First mash that avocado up as smooth as can be:
Add an egg..
Stirin your sugar and your cocoa powder.
I found it was easiest to add a little at a time or the powder went everywhere.
Lastly fold in your flour.
Look at that ooey, gooey mixure...
Do a finger taste test, no ones watching or judging..
Pour into a foil lined brownie tin.
And for the sake of the brownies, please grease that foil, or you'll be stuck (or rather your brownies will be).
I used a standard brownie tin (20 cm sq) but that was a little too large, my brownies came out quite thin (I don't really trust thin brownies) so I doubled them up and stacked 2 together to make a decent size.
Pop them in the oven at 180 celcius for about 15 mins, depending on how thick the batter is in the tin.
The avocado is a much better replacement for butter, not only cutting out dairy, but they're full of good fats to make your nails grow and your hair shiny, plus they're rumoured to help you lose weight.
Brownies that make you lose weight and make your hair shine?
Yes please.
