Servings: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 avocado very ripe, skin and seed removed
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted, or oil of choice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water 1 hour and drained
- 1 cup dates pitted and soaked in water 1 hour and drained
Instructions
- To a blender or food processor, add all ingredients.
- Blend on high until all ingredients are broken down into a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Layer parchment paper in an 8-inch x 8-inch square baking pan laying it criss-cross allowing the edges to hang over the side of the baking dish for each removal.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking pan then spread into an even layer with a spatula.
- Place the baking dish in the freezer a minimum of 1 hour to set.
- Once set, remove from the freezer and lift the brownies out of the pan using the sides of the parchment paper.
- Slice into 16 brownie squares. They are decadent and fudge-y so a little goes a long way!
- Store bars in the freezer up to one week.
Notes
- You must use a VERY RIPE avocado for this recipe otherwise the consistency will be stiff and gross. If you use a different protein powder, I cannot guarantee the results will be the same.
