THE WORLD'S HEALTHIEST BROWNIES



The World's Healthiest Brownies image

These gluten-free, low-carb, vegan brownies are made of healthy fats (avocado, nuts, coconut, and flax seed) and vegetables (avocado and zucchini). I don't think I can make it healthier than this. They are very light and low in sugar. Instead of using "flax eggs," you can also use Egg Replacer.

Time 30m

Yield 1 pan, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (8 ounce) box brownie mix (don't buy the low-fat kind. Fudgy brownie mix okay as long as it doesn't have a separate packet icin)
1 cup plain fat-free yogurt or 1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt

  • Mix (may add a drop of water if you think it is necessary, but generally not) and pour in a 8x8 baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick agent.
  • Bake at 350 for 25 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle and pulling it out clean.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your brownies will be. You can also use overripe bananas that are starting to brown.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth, with no lumps. This will help to ensure that your brownies are evenly textured.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and oat flour will give your brownies a denser, fudgier texture. If you don't have oat flour, you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in a blender or food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked. If there is a lot of batter still on the toothpick, the brownies are underbaked.

Conclusion:

These healthy avocado brownies are a delicious and nutritious snack or dessert. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. The avocado adds a creamy texture and healthy fats to the brownies, while the banana adds sweetness and moisture. The combination of flours gives the brownies a dense, fudgy texture. These brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without weighing you down.
