Keto Chewy Avocado Chocolate Brownies are always a big hit!
Here’s one our favorite dreams: Come home after a long day, plunk down and try to remember why we work so hard, then slip into the evening by reaching for one of the world’s most wickedly tempting treats – a rich, flaky, sweet brownie that’s low in carbs, easy to make, has natural ingredients and (hey, it’s a dream, right?) involves a hugely healthy fruit, such as avocado.
Well, dream no more!
Introducing low-carb, easy-to-make low carb Chewy Avocado Chocolate Brownies! At just 150 calories and 5.5 net carbs per square, it’s literally a dream come true! Not only will you enjoy savoring this incredible guilt-free indulgence, you’ll stand out from the rest of the baking pack when you present this unique combination of sweetness, flavor and texture with its elegant, sophisticated appearance.
The two ripe avocados add a creamy chewiness we’ve never encountered in brownies before. It also adds lots of healthy fats that we keto dieters need. We all have avocados on hand too so you are already prepared to make these brownies! Trust us when we say that once you make brownies using rich, healthy avocados, you will never go back! Anyone who loves a unique rich treat will beat a path to your table!
Coconut oil enhances the creaminess and adds to the richness of the flavor. Coconut oil also has lots of health benefits such as antioxidants and nutritious fats. Coconut oil is a much better option than vegetable or canola oil not only because it is healthier, but it also just tastes so much better! Your brownies will have a great subtle coconut taste that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
Speaking of chocolate, these brownies are super dark chocolate which is perfect for anyone who loves a rich, decadent brownie. But don't worry- that dark chocolate doesn't mean there are lots of carbs in this recipe! Dark chocolate is actually fairly carb-free. The darker the chocolate, the less carbs! How great is that!
The texture of these brownies is amazing as well and there is just enough crumble to remind you of your favorite brownies of the past. They are flakey and chewy yet also tender and soft- a perfect combination! One little trick is using just a dash of baking powder which increases the volume and makes for a sleek, rich look.
To sweeten the brownies we use erythritol which is a completely natural, no-carb sweetener that is just as sweet as regular sugar. With Erythritol sweetener and chopped dark chocolate, these scrumptious squares are a delicious and thoroughly modern update on Grandma’s cake brownies (sorry, Grandma)!
We are always on the lookout for simple recipes that respect your time, your health commitment and your sweet tooth, and this one is a winner! Easy preparation means just minutes from pantry to oven and with a cool-down time of 35 minutes, you will go from “Let’s do this!” to enjoying your first scrumptious bite in less than an hour.
Serve them rakishly stacked for a coffee-shop look, then relax knowing you are getting way fewer carbs than in even a non-fat latte!
