Keto Avocado Brownies Recipe

These chocolate avocado brownies DO NOT taste of avocado! The avocado helps create the fudgy texture we all love in brownies whilst keeping the recipe light and seriously nutritious at the same time. These keto avocado brownies are so healthy you could have them for breakfast (which we did!!).

Instructions

BASE
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 160 C fan / 350 F.
  2. Place the chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl and melt on a medium heat over a pan filled with a little water until smooth.
  3. Place all the base ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth, scraping the sides a couple of times and repeating.
  4. Spoon the mix into a greaseproof lined baking tray and level with a spatula.
  5. Bake for about 25 - 28 minutes until just a slight jiggle remains in the centre. Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes and then remove to cool at room temperature.
FROSTING
  1. Meanwhile, place all the frosting ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness to taste.
  2. Use a spatula to add the frosting to the brownies. Slice into 16 and serve. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight Tupperware.

Notes

  • Net carbs: 3.4g with frosting. Makes 16 brownie squares. 
  • Storage: Fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
  • ***If you cannot get hold of sugar free chocolate chips, use dark chocolate with 85% or 90%  cocoa solids.
  • **** I simply powdered Lakanto Golden at home in a food processor.
