Low-Carb Avocado Brownies

What if instead of trying to hide vegetables in desserts… we embraced them? These low-carb avocado brownies are keto-friendly, and feature all real ingredients you probably have in your pantry right now.

 

 

You’ve probably heard that avocados have “good fats” — these are called monounsaturated fats, which can actually help lower cholesterol. But (some might say) even more importantly, healthy fats help make a dang good brownie. Plus, extra ripe avocados lend creaminess and texture to these fudgy low-carb avocado brownies.

 

 

We can’t help but wonder if carrot cake got the same side eye that avocado brownies do when it was first created. But in this age of savory oatmeal and zucchini smoothies, we’re embracing recipes that transcend culinary expectations.

 

 

These go great with a scoop of Vanilla or White Chocolate Raspberry. Read on for our low-carb avocado brownies recipe. Who knows, this might just be your new go-to!

 

 

Ingredients 

• 4 large eggs

• 2 ripe avocados

• 1/2 cup coconut oil

• 6 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter (optional)

• 2/3 cup coconut sugar

• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 3/4 cup stevia-sweetened chocolate chips

• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line a square 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients aside from the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Use a stand mixer to best combine your ingredients.

3. While the ingredients blend together, pour in the coconut oil for a thick, gooey batter. Then add the chocolate chips!

4. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly in the baking pan.

5. Bake in the center of the oven for 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick or knife. If it comes out clean, they’re done!

6. Remove from oven and let cool, then gently remove from pan.

7. Cut and top with your favorite flavor of Enlightened!
