Have you ever made brownies with an avocado? How about using cassava flour in them as well? My fudgy vegan and gluten free avocado brownie recipe is allergy friendly and tastes so ridiculously good. Serve with ice cream or decorate with melted white chocolate and sprinkles. Perfect for Valentines Day or any special occasion, this small batch recipe makes 4 mini brownie hearts.
Preheat your oven to 350F / 175C and gather all of your supplies and ingredients. Ensure that the avocado is ripe. (You can speed up the process by placing in a bag with a banana or apple)
Making the Brownies
Cut 1 Avocado in half and add the flesh to a mixing bowl. Add 50 grams Apple Sauce , 106 grams Brown Sugar, 24 grams Cocoa Powder, 1/2 tsp Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp Salt and 32 grams Cassava Flour and mix until fully combined.
Partly melt 90 grams Vegan Chocolate Chips in the microwave then stir into the brownie batter.

Lighty spray the mold cavities with a spray oil then add the brownie batter. Fill almost to the top. The brownies will rise a little bit when baking.
Place the silicone mold on a baking tray then bake in the oven for 25 minutes. The brownies should feel slightly firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely before removing from the mold.
Decorate if desired and serve with ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes
Yield: This gluten free avocado brownie recipe makes 4 mini heart shaped brownies. Double the ingredients to make an 8 inch square brownie.
Flour: If you can't find cassava flour, sub it with your preferred gluten free flour substitute. If you are not gluten intolerant, sub with all purpose flour (same quantity).
Storage Tips: the brownies will last in an airtight container on the counter for about three to four days. However, this is a small batch so you might not be able to resist them for that long! You can also freeze the baked brownies. Simply wrap in plastic wrap (cling film) then place in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
