Awoniyi, whose future at Forest in uncertain, came off the bench in the 68th minute and then doubled his team’s lead 10 minutes later.
The striker skinned his marker from way out, drove into the goal area, held off right inside the six-yard box before shooting home in solo fashion.
He was Man of the Match with a personal rating of 8.0 points.
Forest are now five points clear of the relegation zone with 25 points from 23 matches.
