Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium avocado
- 170 g (6 oz) sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 115 g (½ cup) unsalted butter
- 75 g (¾ cup) blanched almond flour
- 100 g (½ cup) monk fruit allulose blend
- 25 g (¼ cup) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Warm the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8 inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, lightly spraying with cooking spray for easy release.
- Chocolate Foundation: Melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until glossy and uniform. Let the mixture cool for a few moments.
- Creamy Fusion: Blend ripe avocado, eggs, and vanilla extract in a food processor until smooth. Incorporate the cooled chocolate mixture, creating a luxurious, velvety base.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener in a separate bowl. Fold gently into the blended mixture, using quick pulses to maintain a light texture.
- Baking and Finishing: Pour the batter into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the top sets but remains slightly soft. Verify doneness with a toothpick test, allowing the brownies to cool completely before slicing into decadent squares.
Notes
- Optimize Avocado Ripeness: Choose perfectly ripe avocados that are soft but not overripe to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without bitter undertones.
- Control Chocolate Melting: Melt chocolate and butter slowly and carefully to prevent burning, which can create a bitter taste and ruin the brownie’s delicate flavor profile.
- Master Mixing Technique: Pulse dry ingredients gently into wet mixture to avoid developing gluten, keeping brownies fudgy and maintaining a tender crumb.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let brownies cool completely before cutting to allow them to set properly and achieve the ideal dense, rich texture characteristic of perfect low-carb brownies.
