Peanut Butter Avocado Brownies are rich, fudgy, and made with wholesome ingredients like ripe avocado and natural peanut butter. They’re flourless, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened—perfect for a healthy chocolate and peanut butter treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and creamy)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tbsp additional peanut butter for swirling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a food processor or large mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
  3. Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, eggs, maple syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix or blend until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Optional: Swirl an extra spoonful of peanut butter on top for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use flax eggs for a vegan version (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg).
  • Swap peanut butter with sunflower seed or almond butter for a nut-free version.
  • Add espresso powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Sprinkle crushed peanuts or cacao nibs on top for a crunchy finish.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp or refrigerate for longer freshness.
