Healthy Cocoa Brownie with Avocado

Brownie de Cacau com Abacate Saudável

We all know and love the typical brownie, moist and full of chocolate. I'm sure that for many, this could be a breakfast, lunch and snack every day!

That's why this healthy cocoa and avocado brownie combines the best of both worlds and means we can now eat this dessert more often during the week! This recipe shared by our Equal Foodie Bárbara from the page @greensandnuts is incredible because it uses very natural products in its composition, such as: spelt flour, avocado, coconut sugar, eggs and much more! It also has a delicious syrup, instead of the typical scoop of ice cream. The combination of apple, pear and cinnamon gives this syrup a really special touch.

The result? An incredibly delicious dessert that you'll hardly be able to leave everything on your plate!

Shall we go to the kitchen?
