These avocado brownies are gluten free, healthy, free of refined sugar and they are super easy to make. Avocado in a dessert might sound strange, but the result is pretty interesting. If you are looking for a good and healthy dessert you should give these brownies a try.

    Is the banana flavor pronounced in this recipe? When used in avocado pudding it is pronounced, so I don't use banana for that reason. Many thanks.
