Description

These Double Chocolate Avocado Brownies are a moist, rich, and healthier twist on traditional brownies. Using avocado and mashed banana as natural fats and sweeteners, along with coconut flour and maple syrup, these brownies offer a fudgy texture and deep chocolate flavor with added nutritional benefits. Perfect for a guilt-free treat that satisfies chocolate cravings.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large avocado
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana (or applesauce)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Additional

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • Butter, coconut oil, or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and grease an 8×8″ baking dish thoroughly with butter, coconut oil, or cooking spray to prevent the brownies from sticking.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the large avocado, mashed banana (or applesauce), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended, ensuring a creamy base for the batter.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking soda. This step helps distribute the leavening and dry ingredients evenly.
  4. Mix All Ingredients: Add the avocado mixture from the blender into the dry egg mixture. Using a hand mixer, blend all ingredients until the batter is completely smooth and well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Pour Batter and Add Chocolate Chips: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top or, if you prefer extra chocolaty brownies, fold some chocolate chips into the batter before pouring for melted chocolate pockets.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs for fudgy brownies.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure they set properly and hold their shape.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
  • Using ripe avocado and banana enhances the natural sweetness and creaminess of the brownies.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy texture; check for doneness early.
  • Coconut flour is very absorbent; do not substitute with regular flour directly without adjusting liquid ingredients.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
