Fudgy Quinoa Avocado Brownies

Breads & Desserts

Quinoa Brownies with Avocado

If there is one thing that I am, that’s a fan of chocolate. I’m not as bad as I used to be though.. I used to eat it more than I do now. Perhaps the excitement is wearing off? Who knows.

Half of our kids love chocolate, the other half do not – the ones who do, well… I would prefer to make something decent. When they ask for brownies, all I can think of is SUGAR. Lots of sugar.

And we recently debunked the “brownies always need sugar” myth, because we CAN and do make them with Raw Honey – they turned out amazingly well.    One thing that also works well is Quinoa.

Fudgy Quinoa Avocado Brownies

Thankfully, we have an Instant Pot, and Quinoa cooks in just ONE minute (then it “rests” for ten).  At that point, there should be no reason to not incorporate Quinoa into brownies – right?  Combined with Avocados … they really are deliciously fudgy. So fudgy you would NEVER know that there is Quinoa OR a half of an Avocado in there.

Even better.. my kids had no idea either, because they came back for seconds.

My husband has a bad bad habit of slicing an Avocado for dinner, and leaving the other half in the fridge. Then slicing a new one the next day. And leaving that half in the fridge. Instead of throwing them when they turn brown, I just remove the pit and slice off the brown and it reveals a nice, beautiful GREEN color – perfect to use in this recipe.
