Avocado brownies with avocado frosting offer a unique and delicious twist on traditional brownies. These brownies are made healthier by incorporating avocado, which provides a creamy and rich texture while adding healthy fats. This recipe is gluten-free and naturally sweetened with dates and maple syrup, making it a guilt-free indulgence perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate candies and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the dry cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the avocados, dates, 2 tsp vanilla extract, eggs, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the avocado mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the melted chocolate and stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. The top should be set and slightly firm.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
- While the brownies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a clean food processor or blender, combine 1 avocado, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp dry cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the avocado frosting evenly over the top.
- For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate the frosted brownies for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure your avocados are fully ripe for the best texture and flavor.
- For a smoother batter, blend your ingredients thoroughly, especially the dates and avocados.
- If your dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10–15 minutes before using them in the recipe.
- Taste test the frosting before applying it to the brownies and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate candies for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before applying the avocado frosting to prevent it from melting.
