Vegan Brownies

The Hubby wants dessert....so here I go!

2 c. all purpose flour
2 c. sugar (I know!...but I never said these were gonna be healthy, just vegan)
3/4 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c. brewed coffee
1 c. vegetable oil

Mix dry ingredients well and then add wet (coffee & oil). Again, mix well and pour into a greased baking pan.

Bake in preheated 350 oven for 25-30 minutes.

Try and let them cool a little before enjoying.

Accidental Avocado Ice Cream

My mom swears by avocado smoothies, so I - having a bunch of ripe avocados on hand - thought I'd give it a whirl. I did two avocados to about 1 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1 tsp sugar and some ice and blended until smooth and creamy.

It was...uh...interesting. Honestly, it was a little to thick for my liking. But, totally perfect for an ice cream base. Out came my Kitchen Aid mixer ice cream maker (always stored in the freezer for emergencies like this) and after about 10-15 minutes of churning it was perfect. Creamy, delicious, guilt-free and vegan.
