HEALTHY(ish) BROWNIE RECIPE !

I'm super excited for this post as it is a little different to my usual reviews, but today I am going to share with you a recipe on how to make a healthier alternative to usual brownies. Remember that although there are lots of healthier ingredients in this, it is still a treat. Also these brownies are Vegetarian, Gluten free and Dairy free ( depending on which chocolate you use! ) This recipe is inspired by the amazing Youtuber/Blogger Tanya Burr, who I absolutely love. So if you want to find out how to create this delicious treat for yourself then read on!


So the list of ingredients you will need are :

1/2 cup coconut oil ( around 8oz ) 

300g Dark chocolate ( or 150g each of milk and dark)

2 cups Brown Sugar ( 16 oz ) 

1 cup ground almonds ( 8 oz )

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 Avocado 

pinch of salt

Before you start, Put your oven to 180°c ( or 160 for fan ovens). 

1. Take a large saucepan over a low heat. Break up the chocolate and add this to the saucepan along with the coconut oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until melted, then turn off the heat. 

 2. Now add the ground almonds and brown sugar and stir together. Mash up the avocado well, before adding along with the vanilla extract. Beat the eggs before adding them in, along with a pinch of salt.

 3. Once all of the ingredients are well mixed together, pour evenly into a baking tin. Place into the centre of the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The brownies should appear cooked on the top, but gooey in the middle. 

4. Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with whatever you like! I had mine with blueberries. 

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you try it for yourself or if you would like to see more recipe ideas in the future! I had so much fun making these, and they taste delicious!
