These Triple Chocolate Avocado Peanut Butter Brownie Bites are delicious! The recipe uses 1 whole avocado which is a healthy alternative to oils. Because they’re bite size they are perfect for parties or guilt free snacking!
Oh friends, have I got a treat for you. These Triple Chocolate Avocado Peanut Butter Brownie Bites are something real special. Remember when you were young and got that first kiss and you got all those butterflies in your stomach? Well that is the feeling I got when eating the first bite. Oh brownie bites, I have a big crush on you, I wrote my landline phone number on your hand, please call me and we can hang out at the arcade Friday night.
These are triple chocolate because I have been craving chocolate real bad. There’s chocolate chips that melt inside the brownie bites which will turn into chocolate lava when you take a first bite (butterflies!), there’s cocoa powder and then there’s chocolate peanut butter. Triple the chocolate, triple the fun, that’s my motto in life.
The real star of these brownie bites is… are you ready? Avocado. Yup, that’s right. One whole avocado is baked inside of these making these chocolate treats creamy, fudgy and beyond delicious.
I love baking with avocado because it means no oils are needed, we’re like bbbfs (best baking buds forever). Avocados have naturally good fats, over 75% of the fat in a avocado is unsaturated. That means it’s a great food substitute for a more nutrient-dense dessert. Avocados can be used in sweet, savory or snack dishes and what makes it even better is they are cholesterol-free, sodium-free and less than 1 gram of sugar per 1 oz serving. Don’t you just want to grab a avocado and eat it right now?
Now grab some of these brownie bites and get a room.
You can either sprinkle these brownie bites with powdered sugar or holiday festive sprinkles – the choice is yours!
And wait till you see how creamy and fudgy they are in the middle. You’ll just fall in love.
Enjoy!

My mind was doing all sorts of mental gymnastics when I saw this post. Ohhh, brownies those look delicious! But wait, avocados?? Hmmm, this does look healthier than what I’ve been baking lately. And finally… Yes, let’s add this recipe to the “to bake” bookmark list! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Shundara@SavyNaturalista says
I love avocados and have always wanted to bake with them but I just get mush in the middle.. I love how the inside is so fluffy..
Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life says
*swwon* Any time you combine avo and chocolate, consider my heart yours. Add peanut butter and there is no turning back. I’ve been craving pb and chocolate like crazy and we have several avos on the verge of being too ripe … this is the PERFECT recipe. Thanks Pamela!
