Avocado is the ultimate stealth ingredient in these brownies—it provides all the fat and moisture of butter while adding fiber and nutrients. The chocolate flavor completely masks any avocado taste.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Mash avocados until completely smooth with no lumps in a large bowl.
Beat in eggs, erythritol, and vanilla until combined.
Fold in cocoa powder, almond flour, and salt until a thick batter forms.
Pour into prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake 22-25 minutes until set. Cool completely before slicing.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving
Arrange on a platter for easy sharing at your next gathering
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor
