These superfood brownie bites are a delicious treat that are both gluten and dairy free. They have an avocado (flour-less) base and have a slight crunch with the addition of cacao nibs.
I am always down to try out new healthy dessert recipes. My sweet tooth loves anything chocolate and these brownies are a choco-packed dream without adding a bunch of sugar.
The ingredient list is quite simple just how I like it. Being that they are filled with healthy fat from the avocado and antioxidants from the cacao nibs, they are perfect for a tasty snack or a healthy dessert.
This recipe includes nut butter – any nut butter will work! I like to use the RX nut butters or Wild Friends! Dagoba Organic Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Navitas Organics Cacao Powder are two of my favorites when it comes to cocoa/cacao powder. I also use dairy free dark chocolate chips. I would recommend using Hu Kitchen dark chocolate gems (yum!!) or Enjoy Life dark chocolate vegan morsels.
