Tips
Avocados should be bought when they feel slightly soft to touch and are in the shade of a dark green. You can also use an over-ripe avocado for this dessert. To get the flesh, use the knife and make a vertical cut on the front and back of avocado, twist the avocado open. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and discard the giant seed in the middle.
I love the simplicity of this recipe. All done and ready in less than an hour. This is recipe based on averiecooks with minor tweaking and metric conversion.
We are eating lots of avocado at home but never use it for baking before. I like your avocado brownies with lots of good fat from avocado.
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe, I have a tendency to buy avocados and forget about them whilst they are ripen slowly. This is a good way to use over-ripen ones :p
