So these are a bit different from your usual chocolate brownie ingredients. Yep, these delicious, rich little bites are made from:

• avocado

• a teensy bit of dark chocolate 
• vanilla extract
• plain flour 
• self raising flour
• cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
• milk

The avocado and banana keep these brownies super moist and delicious. You’re going to LOVE them!!
