These Indulgent Avocado Brownies are rich, fudgy, and unbelievably chocolatey, yet made with wholesome, healthy ingredients. Using creamy avocado instead of butter, these flourless brownies are naturally gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and packed with heart-healthy fats. They deliver the dense, gooey texture you crave while keeping things nutritious and guilt-free. They are the perfect treat for chocolate lovers who want a healthy twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash ripe avocados until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add almond butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Stir in cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix until a smooth, glossy batter forms.
  5. Gently mix in dark chocolate chips for extra richness.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for that perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use fully ripe avocados for a mild, buttery taste in your avocado brownies.
  • For vegan avocado brownies, replace eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg).
  • Don’t overbake these healthy brownies; remove them when slightly underdone for fudgy results.
  • Add chopped nuts or sea salt on top for texture and flavor contrast to your chocolate avocado treats.
  • Cool completely before slicing to maintain the structure of your avocado dessert.
