These fudgy and decadent avocado brownies are a healthier twist on classic brownies, using ripe avocado to create a rich, moist texture without butter. Perfectly sweetened with brown sugar and applesauce, and studded with mini chocolate chips, these brownies are easy to make and baked to perfection for a delicious treat that’s both indulgent and a bit more nutritious.

  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 9 brownies

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe avocado, cut in half and pit removed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup (81.33 g) applesauce, or mashed ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, or neutral oil
  • ½ cup (92 g) lightly packed brown sugar, or coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (43 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping (use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep it dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Heat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease an 8×8 inch square baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Avocado and Wet Ingredients: Scoop the avocado flesh into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal “S” blade, or a blender. Add the eggs, applesauce, avocado oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: If using a food processor, add the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour directly and blend until the flour is just incorporated. If using a blender, transfer the wet mixture to a medium bowl, then stir in the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined.
  4. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. Then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add Extra Toppings: Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired for added texture and flavor.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and slightly puffed around the edges. The center should be moist but firm.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 9 squares. This helps them set properly for clean slices.
  8. Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze for up to two months.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado for the best texture and flavor—soft but not overly mushy.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs or another egg replacer and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
  • Applesauce can be substituted with mashed banana, which will add a slight fruity sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to avoid tough brownies.
  • Check brownies with a toothpick near the end of baking; a few moist crumbs are ideal for fudgy brownies.
  • Use an oven thermometer for accuracy if possible to avoid overbaking.
  • Letting brownies cool fully before slicing improves texture and prevents crumbling.
