A soft and squidgy brownie always feels like the most decadent of sweet treats but these ones are that little bit healthier thanks to an unexpected ingredient.
Instead of using lots of butter, these use a base of Avocado to make them extra rich and creamy. Trust us, they're fab!

Major fan of scented candles, Make Up brushes and Highlighter. I’m always on the hunt for those Holy Grail products and my dressing table is covered in more beauty products than I like to admit. As an adopted Northerner originally from Brighton, I spend most my days wondering what all this rain is about. My hair isn’t grateful for the move.
