Christina's Brownie Recipe

I haven't tried these yet, but everything she ever cooked for me was delish and usually healthy to boot. And, that is avocado that you see in this brownie recipe


Brownie's




Dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (add calories for white)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (I always use sea salt in my baking. I love biting into  
something and having a big chunk o salt in it!)

Wet ingredients:
1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
1/2 an avocado mashed up until it's paste (the original recipe called  
only for apple sauce. After making them, I decided they could use a  
little fat, so hence the 1/2 an avocado)
1 cup baking cocoa
1 cup honey (you're more than welcome to use any combination of sugars  
you like, but honey is a natural preservative and refined sugar is the  
devil :) )
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs (preferrably salmonella free)

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl. In another mix the wet, then beat  
until it's smooth, but don't over mix. Then mix the two together. MAKE  
sure you grease the pan because there's not enough fat in these to  
keep them from sticking to a non-stick baking pan all on their own.  
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
