Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium avocado
- 170g (6 ounces) sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 115g (½ cup) unsalted butter
- 75g (¾ cup) blanched almond flour
Baking and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 100g (½ cup) monk fruit allulose blend
- 25g (¼ cup) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 325°F (163°C). Create a non-stick surface in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) glass baking dish by lining it with foil or parchment paper, then lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by melting high-quality dark chocolate and unsalted butter using either a double boiler or microwave method. Stir consistently until the mixture achieves a glossy, uniform consistency. Allow the melted mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Transform the avocado into a creamy base by pureeing ripe avocado, eggs, and pure vanilla extract in a high-performance blender or food processor until achieving a silky texture. Incorporate the cooled chocolate mixture and blend thoroughly.
- Combine the dry ingredients by whisking almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and your chosen sweetener in a separate mixing bowl. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the blender mixture, using brief pulses to prevent overmixing.
- Transfer the dense batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a smooth, level surface.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. The brownies are ready when the top appears set but remains slightly soft. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick, which should emerge with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Select perfectly ripe avocados with a gentle squeeze that yields slightly, ensuring smooth blending and maximum creaminess in your brownies.
- Stir batter gently and minimally to maintain the signature fudgy texture, stopping the mixing process the moment ingredients are just combined.
- Verify brownies’ readiness by inserting a toothpick near the center, looking for moist crumbs that indicate a decadent, tender interior.
- Allow brownies to rest and stabilize at room temperature for at least an hour, giving them time to set and develop a rich, cohesive structure.
- Opt for high-quality sugar-free dark chocolate with minimal bitterness to enhance the dessert’s natural sweetness and smooth chocolate flavor.
