Picture this: It’s the Tuesday after a long weekend and you have an extra avocado sitting in your fruit bowl, threatening to spoil if you even look at it the wrong way. 
You know how avocados are- one day they’re hard as a rock, the next day you cut them open to find they’re so soft the only thing you can do is mash them up immediately have a personal guac-fest.
Not that I have any issue with solo guacamole parties, but I think you’ll find these brownies are an even better use for that super ripe avocado. I’m talking dense, fudgy, intensely chocolatey brownies with a thick peanut butter swirl on top. Made from avocados. Do I really need to explain more?
You’ve seen these brownies before, albeit without the peanut butter and cut into cute little triangles. Well, ever since the day I posted those fudgy beauties, I’ve been dying to make a peanut butter version. I tried them out with peanut butter in the batter, but wasn’t crazy about the texture. Instead, I kept the original recipe, but used oat flour instead of whole wheat, and swirled plenty of golden, heavenly peanut butter on top. 
These brownies are extra special, because I made them for my friend Jenna. Jenna and I met through Instagram, and are totally kindred spirits. Jenna is a health coach, but don’t let that dissuade you. I know Instagram is full of health coaches whose mission is to sell a diet program and getting you to fear food and hate your body; they promote self-love in the form of ‘get-thin-and-then-you’ll-love-yourself-more’. I was just as weary as you, since most health coaches are just thinness coaches, and I avoid them like the plague. Jenna, on the other hand, is the real deal. She’s a certified holistic health practitioner, and is truly dedicated to helping people live healthier lives- in whatever form that may be. Plus, she is such a kind, sincere person.
She asked if I would be interested in doing a guest post on her blog, I said yes, and the rest is history. Chocolatey, peanut butter swirled history.
If you want the recipe, head on over to Jenna’s site, Healthier Notions! And don’t blame me if you start buying way too many avocados every week in hopes that you’ll accidentally let them get extra ripe and be forced to make more brownies.
