Ingredients

  • 2 medium avocados ripe, I recommend Hass
  • ¼ cup (60 g) maple syrup or ⅓ cup (65 g) keto granulated sweetener
  • ½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder unsweetened
  • a pinch of salt optional
  • chocolate chips optional for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 8x4 brownie pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add seedless avocados, cocoa powder and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and free of lumps. If you don’t have a blender, add the avocados to a bowl and mash with a fork. Then add cocoa powder and maple syrup, and mix until smooth.

  3. Transfer batter to the prepared brownie pan and bake in hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not over-bake. The brownies are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  4. For best texture and flavor, let the brownies cool completely — they’re even fudgier after chilling overnight.

Notes

  • Storage directions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Keto avocado brownies: To make them keto, replace maple syrup with a sugar-free syrup, monk fruit, or powdered erythritol, and use almond flour if needed to adjust consistency.
