Avocado Brownies

Avocado Brownies use ripe avocados as a butter substitute combined with sugar, oil, peanut butter, and almond milk to create a moist, chocolatey batter. Warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add subtle warmth, while almond flakes on top offer crunch. Freeze-dried raspberries add a bright, tart contrast when sprinkled before serving. The brownies bake to a tender, springy texture with a rich cocoa flavor and a slightly nutty finish.

Ingredients

  • 2 avocado ripe
  • 1 cup caster sugar 175g
  • 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter smooth, warmed to stirring consistency in microwave
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup plain flour 90g
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
  • Pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoons almond flakes
  • freeze dried raspberries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/fan-assisted 160 degrees C / 180 degrees C/ and lightly oil a 23 X 23 centimeter (9 inch by 9 inch) baking tray. (Silicone is good for this.)
  2. Mash the avocados in a large bowl using a fork.
  3. Then add in the sugar, oil, almond milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until combined.
  4. Then mix in the flour, cocoa powder and salt until combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into prepared baking tray, then scatter almond flakes on the top.
  6. Bake for approximately 27-30 minutes, until brownie starts shrinking away from the sides of the tin, the centre feels a bit springy and a skewer inserted comes out cleanly. Careful not to overcook – the brownie will firm up as they cool down).
  7. Take brownies out of oven and allow the brownies to cool completely.
  8. Sprinkle on the freeze-dried raspberries before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • Avocados replace butter or oil to lower calorie count and add moisture and healthy fats.
  • This brownie recipe is dairy-free when using almond milk and avoids butter.
  • Freeze-dried raspberries added after cooling provide a tart contrast and visual appeal.
  • Bake until edges pull away from pan and a skewer comes out clean to avoid overcooking; brownies will set further while cooling.
  • Contains 6 Freestyle SmartPoints per serving as a rough nutritional guideline.
