Key Ingredients & Substitutions:

Avocado– This recipe showcases avocado as the star ingredient. Avocado blends right into these brownies, offering good fats and fibre. A whole avocado contains about 13 grams of carbohydrate but is rich in fibre (about 10 grams) The net carbs per avocado is about 3 grams. Not bad.

Coconut Flour- I chose coconut flour because it’s gluten free, low carb and has a light texture. I didn’t test almond flour for this recipe, but it would probably work. Your brownies might be a bit denser but would still taste good.

Almond Butter– peanut butter is a good substitute if not observing the paleo diet.

Coconut oil– coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat that has many health benefits. Avocado, olive oil or MCT would be acceptable substitute.

Monk fruit sweetener – monk fruit sweetener is a no calorie sweetener that can be used to lower one’s intake of added sugars while still providing a sweet taste. It doesn’t raise insulin levels in the blood making it popular among diabetics, and those observing the paleo/keto diet. A good substitute is Swerve, or powdered stevia.

Chocolate chips– I used 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to add just a bit more chocolate to the recipe. Using regular chocolate chips raises the sugar content to 5 grams per brownie (which is pretty good compared to regular brownies). Use sugar free chocolate chips or omit them altogether if you wish to keep sugar content close to zero.

How to Store these Flourless Avocado Brownies

Brownies can be left at room temperature for a couple days. Cover brownies with plastic wrap.

After a couple days, brownies should be kept in the fridge.
