Now you might be thinking to yourself, “Avocado brownies. Why?”.
Well I’ll tell you. Avocado takes the place of oil in this recipe, so these brownies are as healthy and nutrient rich as they come. And let’s face it, you are on a weirdo low carb diet anyway. You’ve probably made bread out of cheese and rice from cauliflower. Why not try avocado brownies?
They might just win you over like they did me.
These brownies are on the fudgey end of the brownie spectrum. (If you like a cakier brownie, then you should check out these flax brownies that I made a while back.) You can taste the avocado if you really try, but it’s very subtle. It’s easy to forget that you are eating a brownie made with avocado.
You’ll need to mash two avocados for this recipe. Here are some tips on the easiest way to cut and mash avocados.
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and use a large knife to chop halfway into the seed. Twist the seed free and discard.
Cut into the avocado in a tight crisscross pattern.
Use a spoon to scoop the avocado out of the peel and into a small bowl. Then use a fork to finish mashing the avocado.
Can these brownies be frozen? No way can we eat them all… delicious, but decadent!!! Thanks
Yep, these brownies freeze well. Just wrap the amount you want to save tightly in plastic wrap. Then wrap it in tin foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw them by leaving them out in the counter until they reach room temperature.
So glad you like the brownies!
Do you have a recommended substitute for almond flour. Can’t use it, but would like to try recipe. Thanks.
You should be able to use coconut flour, but I’m not sure what the ratio should be. I recommend trying a different recipe that uses coconut flour instead of almond flour. Here’s one that looks good: https://www.ketoconnect.net/keto-brownies/
These were great. You’re right, you can barely taste the avocado. If you didn’t know it was an avocado I don’t think you’d notice it at all.

That’s what I thought too. It’s very subtle.
