How could you possibly make a more decadent fudge brownie?
These ‘Fudgy Avocado Brownies’ might be 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!
