Chocolate is my passion.
Avocado is my obsession.
So I decided to put them together with some tasty peanut butter to get your chocolate fix, in a healthier way!
Every time the new year rolls around, I strive to revisit my habits and make small adjustments to get a little healthier. Of course, I say that, but I can’t give up on my chocolate…
Brownies are one of those treats I rarely make at home. Usually it’s because the chocolate is wayyyy too addictive and I will shovel those things in my mouth two at a time.
Before you know it they are gone and I’m making more to satisfy my addiction.
So I try to avoid making them like the plague.
Until now, that is.
These little brownie bites are healthier because they have high-protein avocado instead of butter. They are also in bite-size form so that you don’t have to be concerned with eating a giant brownie! You can instead have a couple of these little guys, and you won’t be devouring too many calories.
You may be a little hesitant to try avocado in baking, but I swear, the flavor is not overpowering and you really wouldn’t even know it’s in there!
It makes these brownie bites super dense and moist (*shudders* I still hate that word…), and the double dose of chocolate with peanut butter gives them the best, rich flavor.
So grab a glass of your favorite milk and saddle up to the yumminess!

Yum! I’ve got an avocado I need to use so totally going to make these today. I love finding a recipe and seeing I already have all the ingredients for it in the house!

Could you make these in a square 8×8 pan instead of as mini muffins?

I have never tried this myself, but I am sure that you can! I believe the cooking time will take a little longer, so I’d add on a few minutes.
