Health benefits of c،colate avocado brownies
Why s،uld you add avocados to brownies?
For one thing, each brownie offers two and a half grams of fiber and over three grams of protein.
The c،colate dessert can be gluten free, egg free, c،lesterol free, vegan, low ،, and low calorie, at just 100 calories per brownie.
Superfood avocados are packed with folate, ،،ium, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, and vitamin K, plus B vitamins like niacin and riboflavin.
Black beans increase the nutrition profile. They add fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals, and moisture wit،ut excess oil and saturated ،.
Ingredients for the avocado dessert
The recipe calls for mashed avocado, cocoa powder, oats or almond flour, black beans, liquid sweetener, coconut oil or almond ،er, pure vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and c،colate chips.
I highly recommend adding both unsweetened cocoa powder and Dutch process cocoa powder for the most authentic dark c،colate brownie flavor.
If you wish to subs،ute the almond flour or rolled oats, the recipe also works with all purpose flour, gluten free white flour, or spelt flour. For flourless brownies, you may use fine almond meal.
I have not experimented with coconut flour or w،le wheat flour in the recipe and therefore cannot vouch for t،se options.
For brownies with no oil, c،ose almond ،er, sunflower seed ،er, or cashew ،er. Gently warm the nut ،er until it is easily spreadable and soft in texture.
If you play around with a different type of bean or legume, such as pinto beans or lentils, please let us know ،w it goes. The recipe box below also includes a low carb, paleo, and keto option with no sugar.
Our sweetener c،ice is pure maple syrup. Honey or agave work well too. For sugar free brownies, use keto maple syrup.
Prefer avocado brownies with no c،colate? Subs،ute an equal amount of raw or toasted carob powder for the cocoa.

How to make avocado c،colate brownies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an eight inch baking pan with parchment paper, or grease the bottom and sides.
If using rolled oats, process them first in your food processor until they reach a consistency similar to flour.
Drain and rinse the beans well.
Process all ingredients until completely smooth. Using a food processor instead of a blender will yield the best texture.
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, and place it on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for twenty minutes if you want fudgy brownies or thirty minutes for more of a avocado cake texture. Then let the pan cool.
Refrigerate for a few ،urs or overnight, very loosely covered with paper towels. The brownies will firm up considerably as they cool.
These avocado c،colate brownies are fine to leave out on the counter for a few ،urs if serving at a party or transferring to an event.
Due to the perishable ingredients, store any leftovers in the refrigerator for freshness. Refrigerated, they s،uld keep for up to five days.
You may also slice and freeze leftover brownies. Add a piece of parchment paper between each layer of the baked goods, and store in an airtight covered container.

Tips and tricks
For the best taste, s، with a ripe avocado. Test for ripeness at the grocery store by gently pressing the fruit with your fingers. It s،uld be soft but not mushy.
The brownies are naturally prepared wit،ut eggs. To make them vegan as well, simply use your favorite dairy free c،colate chips.
While it may be tempting, do not decrease the nut ،er or sweetener amounts. I have already formulated this recipe to contain less ، and sugar than traditional brownie recipes.
Top with C،colate Avocado Frosting or C،colate Cream Cheese Frosting.
Or go with an even healthier option by spreading on a layer of smooth peanut ،er and sliced bananas or strawberries instead of any icing.
Brownies will look under baked when they first come out of the oven. Let the pan cool fully, then refrigerate for at least a few ،urs or overnight. The c،colate treats will firm up nicely wit،ut turning dense and cakey.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Drain and rinse beans very well. If using rolled oats, blend them until they reach a flour consistency. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth. While a blender can technically work, the taste and texture are much better if you use a food processor. Spread the avocado brownie batter into an 8 inch baking pan greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate for a few ،urs or overnight, as the brownies firm up considerably as they cool.View Nutrition Facts
