I made this for my little sister yesterday and she was so overwhelmed. She loves to cut brownier on her birthday and not cake. Being a pastry chef myself, I can vouch for the flavour and texture of this brownie

Hi Michal, Yes they are, even without frosting- even though I trust D&L I was still very surprised at how delicious these turned out. I promise you and your partner won’t eat just a bite, you will want to go for the regular cake portion. I had it for breakfast in the morning and it kept me well into lunch time – good quality calories and nutritious and so tasty – you wouldn’t expect this from dessert, would you?

By far the healthiest and the tastiest brownie I've ever tried! I was never a big fan of brownies anyway, always found them too rich and too sweet. But my husband loves it so I've been looking for a healthier alternative and I quite never found a tasty version to be honest. Until today that is. You can't taste the beans at all. I didn't mind avocado taste in the ganache that I always used to make but dear God - coffe gives such an interesting tone to this one! It can be a dessert by itself. I can imagine this being served in liitle glass dessert dishes and make a hit at the fancy dinner. Also, I didn't expect such a lovely texture to the cake, very light and yet still quite rich. So, I'm not a big fan of brownies but I am massive fan of this particular one. Thank you for your work D&L.

In reply to Michal. Yes, you can skip the frosting. Or use another frosting recipe. We sometimes also put whipped cream on top, our kids love that. /D

Hi David,
Unfortunately, my partner does not like avocados (very sad, I know, but he gets sick just from tasting a tiny bit of it… :(
Are these brownies delicious even without the frosting?

We gave it a shot last night, and it was amazing! Three things:
1. I have to disagree with David regarding fresh dates. Dried and soaked in hot water for about 1.5 hours worked just fine for the dough as well as for the frosting.
2. FROSTING. I cannot praise it enough. Do add the coffee, it will make your day.
3. The only drawback we had was absolutely dry consistency. I figured it was either because we had to swap almond floor with chickpea floor or because 30′ in the oven was too long in this specific case. Luckily the frosting saved it all!

Anyways, Green Kitchen Stories, please keep amazing stuff coming! We love you!

In reply to Green Kitchen Stories. I saw this recipe when it was posted and said that I have to make these brownies and today I finally got around to making them. They are really delicious (which is no surprise, as I have never made anything you posted that I would not want to make again), the texture is great and they are so healthy they qualify for breakfast, too. Thanks for all the great recipes!
