Did you know that it's possible to make 'healthy cakes'? These cakes are
made without flour, dairy products, or artificial sweeteners. With this
chocolate avocado cake, for example, the butter is replaced by
avocados. Replacing the butter with avocados doesn't make the cake any
less delicious, but it does make it healthier and can actually help you
lose weight.
Avocados are rich and soft, which makes them an excellent substitute for
butter. Furthermore, they are a great source of healthy fats, minerals,
and vitamins. The healthy fats make avocados a great choice for a
ketogenic diet. To add to this, they are an excellent source of folate
(used to repair cells, and lutein (maintains eye health).
Avocados have been used to lower cholesterol, treat osteoarthritis, and
it's even been proven that they contain cancer-fighting properties.
Therefore, adding this fruit to a cake is one of the tastiest ways to
benefit from these health benefits.
The taste of the avocado mixes in well with the other ingredients that
it's not even possible to tell the difference. This cake is also
sweetened with honey or maple syrup, instead of sugar and white flour.

Our favorite dried fruit and nuts to use are cherries and almonds, but
you can swap these out for whatever dried fruits or nuts just happen to
take your fancy. Please keep the dates though as they help bind and
sweeten the bars without the need for sugar.
