Flourless, Black Bean & Avocado Brownies

Avocado and Black Beans may sound like the perfect ingredients for a Mexican dish but trust me when I say they are really a star combination for the most amazing Gluten-Free, Non-Dairy, and Vegetarian friendly, insanely delicious FUDGY BROWNIES!!!!

*Made with black beans in place of flour and avocado instead of butter or oil*

They are loaded with fiber, healthy fats and are a dessert that offers some health benefits, compared to regular brownies. Great for kids or for serving at parties; Taste so good- no one will suspect they are eating something healthy!
