Dessert with benefits - what’s not to love? Whip up a batch of these chocolatey brownies and make the most of avocados; they’re high in beneficial fats and contain vitamins E + C, which are important for healthy skin. They also pack compounds that may protect your skin from sun damage.

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 Avocado (medium, ripe)

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar

  • 3 tbsp ghee

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Add the avocado, eggs, vanilla, coconut sugar and ghee to a food processor or blender and mix well until combined.

  2. Add the almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda and sea salt. Process again until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, reserving some to place on top of batter.
