Incredibly fudgy and healthy protein brownies made with avocado. With 19g of protein per serving, these treats provide a satisfying boost to your daily macros, making them perfect for post-workout recovery or a nourishing snack anytime you need a pick-me-up. The creamy avocado not only adds healthy fats but also lends a moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture that rivals traditional brownies, while the rich chocolate flavor satisfies any sweet craving. Their dense, fudgy consistency makes each bite decadently indulgent without the guilt, and the subtle hint of veggie goodness keeps them feeling wholesome. These brownies are versatile enough for meal prep, so you can batch bake and keep them handy for busy days. They’re naturally gluten-free and can easily be veganized by substituting eggs with flaxseed or chia seeds, making them suitable for various dietary needs. For the best results, avoid overmixing the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy, and be sure to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Whether enjoyed as a quick snack, a nutritious dessert, or a post-workout treat, these avocado protein brownies are sure to become a healthy favorite.

Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My brownies are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
