Fudgy Avocado Brownies: Healthy Chocolate Avocado Dessert 

Best with Ripe ÉVO® Hass Avocado 

Decadent texture does not require butter. These Fudgy Avocado Brownies use perfectly ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado to replace traditional fats while delivering moisture, richness and a smooth crumb. The ripe stage is essential — soft enough to blend seamlessly into the batter yet stable enough to retain structure during baking. Firm ripe may leave small green flecks; soft ripe may introduce excess moisture. 

ÉVO® Hass has the first AI ripeness scanner that can tell the five stages of ripeness, allowing you to confidently select ripe stage for baking applications like brownies and cakes. 

This healthy avocado recipe transforms dessert into a smarter indulgence. 

What You’ll Need 

  • 2 ripe ÉVO® Hass avocados 
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder 
  • 1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar 
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips 
  • ½ cup plain flour or almond flour 
  • ½ tsp baking powder 
  • Pinch of sea salt 

Ripe avocado ensures smooth batter integration. 

How to Make It 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. 
  1. Halve the ripe ÉVO® Hass avocados, remove seeds, peel and mash thoroughly until completely smooth with no visible lumps. 
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk mashed avocado with sugar until glossy and evenly combined. 
  1. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. 
  1. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution. 
  1. Fold dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture until just combined without overmixing. 
  1. Stir through dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter. 
  1. Pour mixture into prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula for even baking. 
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are set but centre remains slightly soft when lightly pressed. 
  1. Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely in the tin to firm up and develop fudgy texture. 
  1. Lift from tin using baking paper overhang and slice into even squares with a warm knife for clean edges.

  • Use almond flour for a gluten-free option.
