If you LOVE brownies but eating low-carb or gluten-free – these are it!!
I tweaked this recipe a few times to get it just perfect for brownie lovers.
The brownies are yummy and packed with chocolatey flavor. I did refrigerate for one hour before eating as they tasted better that way.
Here’s the breakdown of changes to traditional brownie recipe:
- Avocados (need to be ripe) replace butter.
- Truvia replaces granulated sugar. Truvia is 75% less calories and net carbs than sugar. It uses a blend of sugar and stevia. If you are looking for zero sugar, replace with 1/4 cup stevia or 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or agave.
- We used 2 eggs but you can use 3 egg whites instead.
- Cocoa powder is unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
