Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 6 oz Sugar-free dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, not unsweetened!)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 large Eggs (whisked)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 3/4 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) glass baking dish with foil or parchment paper, lightly grease it, and secure the edges with plastic clips. Set this aside to prepare your batter.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: Using a double boiler method on the stovetop, melt the unsalted butter and sugar-free dark chocolate chips together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, microwave cautiously to avoid burning. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Puree Wet Ingredients: In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the avocado, whisked eggs, and vanilla extract. Puree until completely smooth. Then add the melted butter and chocolate mixture and puree again to combine.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix together the almond flour, Dutch processed cocoa powder, and Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend. Add these dry ingredients to the blender or food processor bowl with the wet mixture.
- Mix Batter Gently: Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture inside the blender or food processor. Pulse a few times just to incorporate everything well, scraping down the sides as needed. Do not overmix to keep brownies tender.
- Transfer and Smooth Batter: Pour and spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Remove the clips from the foil or parchment paper liner and smooth the top surface with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes. The brownies should be just set with a soft top that is no longer wet. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan to firm up before cutting into squares to serve. This helps achieve the perfect fudgy texture.
Notes
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, consider using Dutch processed cocoa powder as specified.
- Be careful not to overbake; brownies will continue to firm as they cool.
- The avocado adds moisture and healthy fats, making the brownies rich yet healthier.
- Using sugar-free dark chocolate chips and a monk fruit-based sweetener keeps sugar content very low.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
- You can substitute the almond flour with another low-carb flour if preferred.
