Vegan Flourless Oil Free Avocado Walnut Brownies
In reviewing various concepts I don’t do a lot of on Eat Drink Shrink, sadly, brownies were one of them lol. Typically brownies are flour based, pack tons of butter or oil, leaving little room to pack in nutrients. However, you can make a fab brownie with sweet potatoes, and even avocados!
I developed a flourless oil free avocado cookie a few years ago and it occurred to me shortly after that you can seamlessly create a brownie concept by switching up a few ingredients, and poof, the vegan Avocado Walnut Brownies were born!
What’s fab about this recipe, is everything! It utilizes one bowl, a handful of ingredients, I’ve used a batch with a few tablespoons of maple syrup and they were STILL GOOD, they are packed avocado, are gluten free, oil free, flourless, are buttery soft, hold together, and are non vegan approved!!
If you love effortless modern vegan desserts, you have to try this recipe for vegan Avocado Walnut Brownies!!

I would try both the page and side bar submission from a desk top computer as they both seem to be functioning at this time.
