Vegan Avocado Brownies

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at San Diego chapter.

The inner-Californian in me dies a little inside every time I throw an avocado away. After sacrificing too many mushy fallen soldiers, I made it a priority to put them to good use. Thankfully, I found a way to Hannah Montana the situation and get the best of both worlds. Oh, and did I mention, these are vegan brownies and actually healthy?

I’m not endorsing eating brownies for dinner, but it would be a lie to say that I haven’t done it myself. Plus, these vegan brownies are made with love- and a little more guilt-free than something out of a box.
