I have been experimenting with more and more healthy recipes and ingredients in order to let myself have scrumptious treats without all the guilt.

The secret ingredient in these fudge like brownies is avocados! The avocados make the brownies very creamy. Also the instant coffee gives chocolate a special flavor. Don’t skip the instant coffee!
