Its flavor is largely hidden by the dark chocolate and the honey\/agave syrup. You don\u2019t get the typical avocado flavor you would have in something savory, like avocado toast, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1768471445805\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I replace the honey?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>Yes, you can use <strong>agave syrup<\/strong> as I do in this recipe, or another sweetener (maple syrup, for example). The texture stays similar, but the flavor changes slightly.<br \/>\nFor children under 1 year old, <strong>avoid honey completely<\/strong> because of the risk of infant botulism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1768471473218\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What should I do about walnuts for young children?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>For children, especially <strong>under age 3<\/strong>, do not use large walnut pieces because of the choking risk.<br \/>\nYou can:<br \/>\neither <strong>leave out the walnuts<\/strong>,<br \/>\nor <strong>grind them into a very fine powder<\/strong> and mix them into the batter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1768471677612\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What kind of chocolate should I use?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>Choose a <strong>baking dark chocolate<\/strong>, ideally between 50 and 70% cocoa. The higher the cocoa content, the more intense the flavor and, most importantly, the less sweet it will be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019re making an ultra-fudgy avocado brownie, with no butter, using dark chocolate, a little honey or&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[250,338,293,49,305,51,402,79,327,326,342],"tags":[517,518,446,422],"class_list":["post-9727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-12-months","category-18-months","category-baby-food-recipes","category-age","category-avocado","category-ingredient","category-chocolate","category-fruit","category-snack","category-biscuit-cake","category-dairy-free","tag-avocado","tag-brownie","tag-chocolate","tag-dairy-free"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9727"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9729,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9727\/revisions\/9729"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
