Step-by-step

  • Preheat oven to 180 C.
  • Line a square brownie pan (24 cm x 24cm) with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan add the dark chocolate bites and coconut oil. Bring to medium heat until fully melted. You can also place both ingredients into a bowl and microwave on high by 30 seconds burst until fully melted. Set aside.
  • In your food processor with the S blade attachment, add all the brownie ingredients (except the glazing one) in this order: ripe avocado flesh, eggs, erythritol, almond meal, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
  • Process for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until all the ingredients comes together and you obtain a thick brownie batter.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared square pan. Spread the batter evenly in the pan using a spatula.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the brownie comes out clean.
  • Cool down 10 minutes in the pan before pulling out the brownie from the pan using the parchment paper to pull out the brownie easily.
  • Transfer the brownie on a cookie rack to cool down until room temperature.
  • Meanwhile prepare the chocolate glazing and toppings. In a small saucepan, under medium heat, melt the sugar free chocolate bites with coconut oil until fully liquid and shiny. Stir often to avoid the chocolate to burn.
  • Use a teaspoon to drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the brownie and decorate with crushed pecan nuts and sea salt - optional.
  • Cut the brownie in 16 squares and store the brownies in the pantry in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

As a busy working mom, finding time to bake is a luxury, not a given. My days are a whirlwind of meetings, school runs, and dinner prep. So when I stumbled upon this low-carb avocado brownie recipe, I was initially skeptical. Avocado in brownies? It sounded… strange. But desperation (and a serious craving for something chocolatey) led me to give it a try. And let me tell you, my skepticism melted away faster than the chocolate in the microwave.

The process itself was surprisingly straightforward. The recipe was clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who's more used to grabbing a quick snack than whipping up elaborate desserts. The most challenging part was patiently waiting for the brownies to cool before indulging. The aroma wafting from the oven was enough to drive anyone mad with anticipation!
