Avocado in desserts

Using avocado in baked goods has been one of my favorite tricks for as long as I can remember. It adds this unbelievably smooth texture to smoothies — and when baked into treats like brownies, it creates the most rich, fudgy bite.

Avocado has a naturally creamy texture that makes it a great swap for butter or eggs in some recipes. These brownies are vegan and gluten-free, and thanks to the avocado, they come out extra moist, dense, and chocolatey — basically everything you want in a brownie.

Ingredients in avocado brownies

The avocado in this recipe is super mild — you’d never guess it’s in there. I’ve mixed in cacao, almond butter, and plenty of chocolate chips to boost the flavor while still keeping that creamy, fudgy texture avocado adds so well. Trust me, no one will know. I also made a few simple baking swaps to lighten things up a bit, without sacrificing that chewy, rich texture that makes a brownie actually feel like a brownie.

Kitchen tools needed to make brownies

You will only need a handful of kitchen tools to make these brownies. I used my food processor to blend the ingredients together. I recommend doing the same, or using a blender. You want the ingredients to be really well combined, and since we aren’t using any milk or eggs in this recipe the batter is THICK and may be hard to stir by hand.

How to make flourless avocado brownies

Making these avocado brownies is simple and stress-free. All that you need to do is add all the ingredients to a food processor, blend, and then pour into prepared pan and bake!

To start, preheat the oven to 350F and prepare and 8×8 baking dish my lining it with parchment paper. You can also spray the inside with non-stick spray instead if you’d like.

For this recipe I used chia eggs instead of regular eggs. If you aren’t vegan or don’t have chia seeds on hand, you can swap the chia eggs for regular eggs. To make a chia egg, simple combine 1 Tbsp of chia seeds with 3 Tbsp of water. Mix well and allow to sit for 10 minutes to thicken.

Next, add all the ingredients to your food processor with the exception of the chocolate chips. You will add these in last.

Once you’ve added all the ingredients to your food processor, blend for about 2-3 minutes or until the ingredients are well incorporated. The batter will be THICK. Since this is a vegan recipe- feel free to lick the spoon, but try not to eat the entire thing!

Next, fold in the chocolate chips and then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and top with matcha almond butter. I opted for the swirl design which I made with a toothpick.

Bake the brownies in the oven for 45 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into. Store in the fridge and enjoy up to 5 days!
