Avocado Brownies Recipe
Description
The Avocado Brownies Recipe uses mashed avocado blended with eggs, almond butter, cacao powder, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract to produce a smooth batter rich in chocolate flavor and moisture. Baking the mixture in a parchment-lined pan until set yields dense, fudgy brownies with chocolate chips scattered throughout for extra chewiness and texture contrasts. The avocado imparts a subtle creaminess that enriches the cocoa's depth without overpowering it.
The preparation involves processing the avocado and other wet and dry ingredients together until fully smooth, then stirring in chocolate chips before baking at a moderate temperature. Cooling the brownies before slicing helps them hold shape and offers a better texture for serving.
This recipe makes a dessert that works well for sharing at gatherings or simply enjoying as a special homemade treat. Its use of almond butter and coconut sugar gives it a different nutritional profile than a standard brownie, and the avocado-based fat replacement offers a smooth consistency and heartier bite.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado peeled and pitted, large ripe
- 2 egg large
- 1/3 cup almond butter well stirred, creamy
- 2/3 cup cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8” x 8” or 9” x 9” cake pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a food processor. Process until completely smooth. You may need to stop the food processor and scrape the sides a couple times using a rubber spatula. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter until well combined.
- Transfer the brownie batter to the lined baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 40 to 45 minutes, until brownies have set up.
- Remove brownies from the oven and allow them to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
