Description

You will never believe that these rich chocolatey brownies are grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free and made with real whole food ingredients. These are husband, kid and friend approved and one of the most requested snacks I make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butternut or acorn Squash cooked and mashed
  • 1/3 cup avocado mashed (about 3/4 large avocado)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (we use Hu sugar-free baking chips)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prepare mini muffin tin with 24 silicone or parchment paper liners.
  3. Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula.
  5. Using a regular spoon, divide the batter into the 24 mini muffin cups.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-16 minutes. Remove from the oven when they are just firm to the touch. Do not over bake.
  7. Remove delicious chocolatey bites from the oven and let them sit for 10 minutes in the pan.
  8. Remove the brownies from the pan and allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack. These bites will firm up as they cool.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, if they last that long!

Notes

* Brownies should be “set up” when you remove them from the oven, but they will still be soft.  They will firm up as they cool in the muffin tin.

* Brownies taste even better as they rest.  We actually enjoy them the most chilled, right out of the fridge!

* Brownies freeze well. Just allow them to thaw for a couple hours on the counter or several hours in the fridge when you are ready to eat them. Enjoy!
