Tools For Recipe

Use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan that is nonstick is going to be best for the brownies. You will find the brownies can easily stick in the pan if you do not.
Food Processor
Reach for a food processor or high speed blender for this recipe. It is needed to get the right consistency of the brownie batter. Otherwise it can bake up with a different texture.
Helpful Tips For Avocado Brownies
Choose ripe avocados
Make sure your avocados are ripe, soft and easy to mash. This will ensure that the texture of your brownies is smooth and creamy.
Allow the brownies cool before slicing
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow them to set and make for cleaner cuts. It also allows the brownies to fully set which is needed with the brownies
Quality Cocoa Powder
Make sure to use quality cocoa that is going to make sure you have a rich and delicious chocolate flavor. I always recommend using quality ingredients when making desserts.
Variations to Recipe
Sea Salt
Consider sprinkling some sea salt on top of the brownies. The salt will enhance the flavor of the chocolate in the brownies.
Nuts
Want to make some crunch to the brownies? Consider adding in some walnuts, pecans, or even chopped nuts of choice. I would recommend ¼ cup to ⅓ cup of nuts.
Fruit
Once the brownies are done you can top with some fresh fruit for a sweet addition to the brownies. Give it a try with strawberries, blueberries, etc.
FAQs
What is the difference between fudgy and chewy brownies?
Fudgy brownies are rich and dense with a moist, almost gooey texture. They have a high fat-to-flour ratio, which gives them their signature fudgy texture. Chewy brownies, on the other hand, have a more cake-like texture with a slightly springy and chewy crumb. They have a lower fat-to-flour ratio and rely more on eggs and sugar to give them their structure.
How to store avocado brownies?
Store the brownies at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
How to freeze vegan brownies?
If you want to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months. To freeze avocado brownies, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place them in an airtight container. When you're ready to eat them, thaw the brownies at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
