Fudgy Avocado Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish with parchment, leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
• Whisk together the butter, cocoa powder, heavy cream and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and yolk and whisk to combine.
• Set aside a large pinch of the sweetener for the top. Whisk together the almond flour, salt and remaining sweetener in a separate medium bowl.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter-cocoa mixture and stir to combine. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish and use an offset spatula to spread it to the edges in an even layer. Sprinkle with the nuts or coconut chips if using. Sprinkle with the reserved sweetener.
• Bake until the edges of the brownie are matte and completely set but the center is still slightly shiny, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment to transfer the brownie to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 12 pieces. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• For Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325 F for glass or dark pan).
• Liberally spray a 9-inch square pan with non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk mashed avocado and melted chocolate.
• Whisk in sugar until combined, then add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
• Add in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, mixing with a large spoon or rubber spatula until JUST combined - do not over mix.
• Stir in oil until its well distributed and batter is somewhat smooth. Fold in chopped chocolate, then spread batter in pan.
• Bake for 28-32 minutes (35-40 minutes if baking at the lower temperature) or until middle is set.
• Remove and let cool completely, then frost and top with grated chocolate if desired.
• For Frosting: Add avocado to the bowl of an electric stand mixer (or a hand held electric mixer) and beat until creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add in vanilla and then slowly add in powdered sugar and cocoa powder, scraping down the sides if needed, until a smooth frosting forms.
• Frost brownies once cooled.
