    Avocado Brownie Recipe! – Fudgtastic and Delicious!

    By In21 Day Fix 0

    Avocado Brownie Recipe

    I can successfully say my desserts are all mapped out for the week ? Food prep is vital, right? I have a Paleo strawberry rhubarb crisp I’m making tomorrow and NO I’m not pregnant. Just love playing with desserts that have no harsh sugars in them like this brownie recipe.  But for realzies, this brownie dessert is the bomb and way easier on our “gut” than a box. Knowing the exact ingredients in our food is SUPER important!

    Check it:

    ~1 medium ripe avocado
    ~1/4 cup melted coconut oil
    ~1 large egg
    ~1/2 cup maple syrup
    ~1tsp. vanilla
    Blend it all up and then add in the dry ingredients:
    ~3/4 cup cocoa powder | unsweetened
    ~1/4 Pamela’s GF Baking mix or GF flour
    ~1/2 sea salt
    ~1/3 cup dark choc chips

    Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8×8 baking dish with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray. Pour into pan and bake for 33-36 minutes until done. I let the kids decorate their brownie section with tiny marshmallows and it came out yummy.  Not only did they like it…but they loved it!  So did my hubby.  This was his one dessert for the week and he demolished it!  I didn’t know if it would be very good, but it was a hit and we will be making it again.  Remember, as in all things moderation is the key.  I didn’t have 3 servings, I had one.  So make sure you protect yourself and only eat smaller portions.  This could work for the 21 Day Fix meal plan, but you can only have a small amount because there is a lot of fat.

    I stole this from the amazing Team Beachbody blog. I also apologize for posting it at 9:30 at night. It’s now time to drink water and go to bed. Please do not get up and make these? but you’ll love them when you do get a chance!!! Did you notice my “corner” piece? Who else loves the corners?

    Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

    I know there are a ton of family tradition-style cookies being made this time of year -but if you want a treat to have that is on the healthy side, these gluten-free chocolate cookies will do the trick! They freeze amazingly well, too!! I bet you’ll have all these ingredients in your kitchen right now so no need to brave the grocery store.  I love finding simple recipes that are easy to make and that my kids continually love!  I am always looking for new ones.  It is not easy finding gluten-free snacks that my kids can actually eat and this is one that works.  Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

    Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

    2 cups oat flour (I took gluten-free oatmeal and blended it in my ‪Blendtec blender)
    3/4 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    3/4 tsp baking soda
    1/8 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 cardamom (I omitted)
    1 cup Enjoy Life Foods vegan gluten-free chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
    2/3 maple syrup or agave
    2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
    2 Tbsp almond milk
    1-2 tsp vanilla

    Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine dry ingredients with the chips and wisk together to break up the lumps. In another bowl, wisk syrup, oil, vanilla and milk. Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Refrigerate the cookies for 10 minutes. Place in a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes. They are so rich and delicious! This recipe is from the cookbook Karma Chow!! Tony Horton is a huge fan of all the vegan recipes in the book and wrote the foreword. I highly recommend it! So many great recipes!!!  These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are so very amazing, don’t hold back, indulge.

    It is not always easy finding quality tasting gluten-free recipes.  If you are looking for a yummy but also “healthy” treat to take to a Christmas gathering…look no further. This recipe even passed the husband and kid test, I’m in no way taking credit! The creator of the 21 Day Fix Autumn Calabrese put it in her new cookbook. ‪#‎genius‬

    FLOURLESS CHICKPEA CHOCOLATE BROWNIES – One of the Best Gluten-Free Recipes

    Makes 16 brownies and for better nutrients and taste, use all organic ingredients

    • 1 can chickpeas-rinsed and drained
    • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter or coconut oil, melted (by favorite brand is Tropical Traditions because it doesn’t have a strong coconut flavor)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
    • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder, gluten-free
    • 1 pinch sea salt
    • 1/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

    1. Preheat over to 350.
    2. Line 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper. Lightly coat with spray.
    3. Place everything except the choc. chips in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
    4. Add c. chips and mix by hand.
    5. Evenly spread batter into prepared pan
    6. Bake for 25-28 minutes
    7. Cut into squares and enjoy!! If you use an 8×8 inch pan the brownies will be a thicker.

    1 square = 1 yellow container

    These are so much better than you think they will be. If you want the cookbook for you or a gift, today would be the last day to get it in time for Christmas. Here is the link to my website:http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/ShkSuperSmpl… If it doesn’t pop up, just search for the Fixate Cookbook.  I know some people have made these with Shakeology…I have not tried that yet….but I will!!  Another one of my gluten-free recipes, that will be made over and over!
