Healthy Avocado Brownies Recipe Instructions
via Courtney Budzyn
In a blender or food processor, blend avocados until no lumps remain. Add coconut sugar and vanilla, blend again until creamy. About 4 minutes.
In a separate bowl, melt dark chocolate in the microwave at 30-second increments, stirring after each increment.
Pour melted chocolate into the processor and blend until smooth. You may need to scrape the sides of the processor with a spatula to mix thoroughly.
Add eggs and blend again just until combined.
Add cocoa powder and almond flour. Blend JUST until combined.
DO NOT overmix. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the processor.
Pour batter into a 9×9 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Spread the batter out evenly.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until just set. Overbaking will result in cakey brownies.
Allow brownies to cool completely.
Healthy Avocado Brownies Frosting
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt coconut oil, maple syrup, and dark chocolate together.
Whisk until combined and smooth. Add a pinch of salt and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled brownies.
Work with the frosting quickly because the coconut oil will start to harden. Top with walnuts and enjoy!
