How to Make Chocolate Avocado Brownies
Ingredients
3/4 cup super fine almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup grass-fed butter, melted
1 avocado (just ripened), pureed (I use Haas)
2/3 cup swerve confectioners
1/2 teaspoon coffee extract
3.5 ounces baker’s dark chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine the almond flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl using a whisk or fork, and set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the butter and swerve, mix using a hand mixer. Add the eggs, avocado, vanilla and coffee extracts, continue mixing. Then add the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined.
Pour the mixture into a (9 x 9) square glass or ceramic baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Allow to cool before cutting them into 12 squares. Top with Swerve confectioners for a little extra sweetness and enjoy!
Note: The more ripe the avocado, the more you are likely to taste it in this recipe. I used avocados that had just become ripe, which really allows the cocoa powder flavor to be front and center!

Hi, I don’t like the taste of coffee. can you taste the coffee extract or is there a substitute you can recommend? thanks so much!
You really can’t taste it, it’s only used to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. You can just omit it if you’d like and they will still be great!
Sounds delicious! I’ll have to give this a try soon! Thanks for the recipe, I’m now following you. Check out my comedy blog and give it a follow if you enjoy it!
