I stock up sometimes in the supermarket with avocados because my mind is racing with so many ideas. Usually though I come home with multiple avocados and only use them for tortilla soup. But this time, I was craving something sweet – Avocado Brownies to the rescue! Pin this Recipe For Later!

Why These Brownies are the Best
Surprisingly, avocados work really well in baked goods. Avocados can replace butter, shortening, and sometimes even eggs. They make desserts super moist and delightfully rich, while adding nutrients and healthy fats. Why else are these brownies amazing? They’re made with applesauce instead of butter or oil! They are gluten free and grain free (no flour!)! They are the perfect brownies to make if you have that overripe avocado that you don’t know what to do with! These brownies are WIN WIN WIN!
Can you taste the avocado in the brownies?
The avocado is mild and when paired with cocoa and chocolate chips, you’ll never even taste it. The avocado is a substitute for the butter and oil and makes the brownies fudgy and moist.
My husband who doesn’t like avocados at all gobbles these brownies up happily. He still doesn’t know they’re made with avocados. I know, I’m sneaky. 🙂
How Do You Make Avocado Brownies?
Start this recipe by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8×8-inch pan with cooking spray.
1 avocado apple sauce creamy peanut butter egg white sugar brown sugar vanilla cocoa powder chocolate chips
Now, mash the avocado up with a fork or potato masher. Try to get it super creamy, with no lumps. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado with the applesauce, peanut butter, egg, sugars, and vanilla. Stir until you a smooth brownie mix. Next add in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Stir all of the ingredients together. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cook the brownies for 33-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. So eat one, go for it. You deserve it. Eat it with a fork. Eat it with a spoon. Eat it plain. Throw ice cream on top. Throw whip cream on top. Throw sprinkles on top. Just throw it in your mouth already. Enjoy!
