Avocado brownies are a (slightly) healthier twist on traditional fudgy brownies. Every bite is rich, chocolatey, and so tasty!

Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
9x9-inch Baking Pan

Ingredients

1 cup mashed avocados (about 1 large avocado)
½ cup chocolate chips melted
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda 3 grams
2 tablespoons brewed coffee hot (180-200°F)
1 cup chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Add the mashed avocado, melted chocolate chips, sugar, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
1 cup mashed avocados, ½ cup chocolate chips, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs , 2 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Add in the cocoa, flour, and baking soda and whisk until just incorporated.
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda
Add the hot coffee and whisk to combine, then add the chocolate chips and fold in using a rubber spatula.
2 tablespoons brewed coffee, 1 cup chocolate chips
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Place the pan into the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack to cool.

Notes

I like to lightly spray the baking pan with nonstick spray before putting down the parchment paper to help it stay in place.
If you only have access to frozen avocados, you can still make this recipe; however, you will need to thaw the avocados overnight in the refrigerator before using them.
You can mash the avocado with a potato masher, fork, or in a food processor.
When melting the chocolate chips, I like to add 1 teaspoon of shortening to the bowl to help get a smooth chocolate.
Try adding a mixture of milk, semisweet, and dark chocolate chips to your brownies for that triple-chocolate taste!

Storage: Store avocado brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
