COOKIES: BROWNIES MADE WITH AVOCADOS(click here to print)

I have just recently posted a recipe for brownies using almond butter.  I had several people ask if they can use something else besides the almond butter.  There is a recipe on this blog for brownies made with black beans, and I have also found a flour-less brownie made with avocado.  I have tried all 3 and my personal favorite is the recipe using the almond butter.  You may substitute natural peanut butter for the almond butter.  Make sure you stir in the oil that's on top before using.
