Keto Avocado Brownies Recipe

These chocolate avocado brownies DO NOT taste of avocado! The avocado helps create the fudgy texture we all love in brownies whilst keeping the recipe light and seriously nutritious at the same time. These keto avocado brownies are so healthy you could have them for breakfast (which we did!!).
