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:

3 oz chocolate candies
81g
1 tbsp coconut oil
14g
1.50 cups dry cocoa powder
130g
2 cups almond flour
240g
2 tsp baking powder
10g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
3 avocados
600g
10 dates
240g
3 tsp vanilla extract
13g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup maple syrup
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
2. Prepare the brownie batter:
- 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.
3. Bake the brownies:
- 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.
4. Prepare the avocado frosting:
- 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.
5. Frost the brownies:
- 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.
6. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious, healthy avocado brownies with creamy avocado frosting!

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.

Your avocado brownies with avocado frosting are now ready to be enjoyed! This decadent yet healthy dessert combines the rich flavors of chocolate with the creamy texture of avocado, making it a perfect treat for health-conscious individuals.
