Satisfy your sweet tooth and with this healthier and gluten-free brownie recipe. Try avocado brownies next time you bake and enjoy!
I’m a huge fan of brownies. Warm brownies, cooled brownies, brownies plain, brownies with ice cream, you name it.
But did you know you can make a healthier version of this classic treat by swapping a few ingredients?
Make Avocado Brownies with a Few New Ingredients
With this recipe, you will swap a few traditional ingredients for some healthier options for an easy and quick dessert!
To make these brownies, you will need:
- One avocado
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Coconut Oil
- Vanilla
- Cocoa powder
- Almond flour
- baking soda
- salt
- dark chocolate chips
Are Avocado Brownies Keto Friendly?
They can be!
To turn these into Keto brownies, all you need to do is use granulated Swerve instead of sugar (1:1 swap) and omit the dark chocolate chips.
For even more flavor, replace the chocolate chips with raspberries!
How to make Avocado Brownies
A food processor is recommended to really combine everything, but a mixer will also work if that is what you have.
Start by processing the avocado and other wet ingredients.
Then combine and add the dry ingredients until mixed.
When you add the chocolate chips, be sure to save about half of them to add once your brownie batter is in the pan.
Who can say no to that gooey top layer of melty chocolate?
You can eat these avocado brownies right out of the oven or let them chill for a few hours and set.
I really don’t think there is a wrong answer here.
