Double Chocolate Avocado Peanut Butter Brownie Bites are the healthier way to indulge in that chocolate peanut butter craving you’ve been having lately!
Chocolate is my passion.
Avocado is my obsession.
And now, avocado desserts with chocolate are my fixation.
I decided to put them together with some tasty peanut butter to get your chocolate fix, in a healthier way!
Every time the new year rolls around, I strive to revisit my habits and make small adjustments to get a little healthier. Of course, I say that, but I can’t give up on my chocolate…
Brownies are one of those treats I rarely make at home. Usually it’s because the chocolate is wayyyy too addictive and I will shovel those things in my mouth two at a time.
Before you know it, they are gone and I’m making more to satisfy my addiction.
So, I try to avoid making them like the plague.
Until now, that is.
These little brownie bites are healthier because they have high-protein avocado instead of butter. They are also in bite-size form so that you don’t have to be concerned with eating a giant brownie!
You can instead have a couple of these little guys, and you won’t be devouring too many calories. We all want to start the New Year in a healthy way, but sometimes you need a little indulgence. It’s the best of both worlds, in cute little bite-sized form.
You may be a little hesitant to try avocado in baking, but I swear, the flavor is not over-powering and you really wouldn’t even know it’s in there!
It makes these brownie bites super dense and moist (*shudders* I still hate that word…), and the double dose of chocolate with peanut butter gives them the best, rich flavor.
So, grab a glass of your favorite milk and saddle up to the yumminess!
