Deliciously chocolatey avocado brownies, sweetened with dates and maple syrup. Great for kids, vegans and anyone looking for a healthier chocolate treat.

I love this avocado chocolate brownie recipe. It's a great sneaky veg recipe - full of hidden avocado.

It contains much less sugar than a traditional brownie recipe - because it's sweetened with dates and maple syrup.

And these brownies are full of healthy fats as well - with avocado supplying most of the fat content (there's also oat milk).
