This is also a good way to use up ripe avocado and bananas before they go bad. The cacao powder in these gives a lovely rich chocolate flavour and they’re naturally sweetened, not too much, but just enough to make them tasty without massive energy spikes.
You’ll also get “brownie” points from your significant other if you make these for Valentine’s, plus they’re suitable for a lot of free from diets.

TIPS
For best results regarding the frosting make sure you use a ripe avocado as it will blend better and wont leave you with massive chunks of avo throughout your frosting. Also using a ripe banana will give more sweetness than an unripe one.
Dairy free avocado frosted brownies
Plant based chocolate cream cheese
A healthy, creamy, dairy free chocolate cream “cheeze” spread, very similar in taste to the choc version Philadelphia came out with a few years ago.
So creamy and feels like a treat on your bread especially when paired with fresh berries.
I also made this healthier by using a choc superfood blend which adds flavour, goodness and sweetness without any nasties or sugar. I highly recommend checking them out (see link below) and getting the pack of 10 sachets if you want to try it out a few times before getting a bigger bag.
Savoury Mediterranean scones
Savory, sugar free, Mediterranean scones, these beauties are great for an afternoon tea gathering especially if someone prefers savory over sweet.
These scones are filled with salty olives, sweet sun dried tomatoes, tangy feta and lovely fragrant herbs, plus the lemon zest really lifts up the flavour and cuts through the richness of the other ingredients, I highly recommend adding this in.
