My life in Mexico was surrounded by Avocados. Over my four year stay in the country I kinda got used to having this fruit around me. But then India happened and all of a sudden the craving for Avocados started. Whenever i would visit delhi I would buy a piece or two at atrociously high prices. Until couple of month ago my friend from Almora told me we get Avocados in here as they are locally grown.I couldn’t believe my ears until I saw them at the recommended places. Oh boy they were cheaply available and so very fresh. I have been enjoying Avocados since then and trying to create all possible type of recipes with it. Its simply not used in Guacamole but you can make so many things with it This time I tried my hands on this Vegan Avocado Chocolate Brownies.
When I finished baking these brownies I realised all brownie recipes on my blog are the most weird types! Ranging from Yellow Zucchini Brownies, Ragi Brownies, Oats and Whole wheat Brownies and adding to the list is these Avocado Brownies! :O For sure I am a Health Weirdo! These Brownies are Vegan which means no dairy no eggs.. has Whole Wheat Flour and Organic Khandsari Sugar from SOS Organics. In spite of all these top notch healthy ingredients it tasted divine and it was hard for anyone to tell anyone if it had Avocados! You can call them Healthy Power Packed Brownies for Adults and Sneaky Chocolate Brownies for kids 😉
