You read that right. Fudge Avocado Brownies. There is avocado in the brownies. It makes them so soft and moist. I promise, you can't even taste the avocado. You are going to love this healthier version of chocolate brownies. I actually prefer them, because they are so tasty and moist.

You may have noticed that we have been trying to share some healthier recipes.

This recipe is helps to cure your chocolate cravings without totally ruining your diet.

I made a batch of these and didn’t tell my kids what went in them (I also made sure that they didn’t see the batter as I was mixing these brownies up because the avocado makes things a little green . . . ha ha.)

But once they bake, you would never know.

My kids and husband devoured them. Seriously loved them and didn’t even bat an eye.

why use avocados when baking?

-When it comes to baking, you can use an avocado as a substitute for butter, shortening, and/or oil. While avocados do have fat, it’s more of the “good-for-you” fats instead of saturated fats.

-Plus avocados have less calories than butter and oil and tons of vitamins and minerals, so, #winning.

-Avocados also have a higher water content than butter, making your baked goods soft. So . . . what are you waiting for?? Throw some avocados in these brownies and let’s get cooking.

do i have to use coconut flour?

The other ingredient used in these brownies that is a little different is coconut flour. I haven’t made too many recipes using coconut flour, so I am still learning.

I have learned that coconut flour cannot be a straight-across substitute for all-purpose flour or other flour because coconut flour is so different.

It’s really absorbent and requires more eggs and/or liquid to make it work. So, if you don’t have any coconut flour on hand, I recommend that you try a different brownie recipe.

However, for this recipe, the coconut flour gives it a more sweet taste. You are going to love it, I promise.
