Fudgy Avocado Sweet Potato Brownies
Best fudgy paleo brownies made with avocado and sweet potatoes! Easy flourless brownies with avocado buttercream frosting! Ultra-rich, veggie-packed, decadent, triple-chocolate, healthy brownies.
Can we just talk about the fact that there are three layers of chocolate going on here!!
And all of them are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
Get ready to meet the fudgy-mega-rich-wipe-that-drool-off-your-face avocado brownies with creamy avocado buttercream frosting.
Oh! And did I mention, there’s more than just avocado in there?
These brownies are made without any flour, it’s just sweet potatoes, avocado, and allllll the chocolate.
flourless brownie wonder
I didn’t even know what I was missing out on until I took a bite of one of these brownies.
These just might be the best brownies I’ve ever had.
EVER.
And I’m not talking about the normal: leave you with a sugar buzz and a headache type brownies.
I’m talking about the ultra-rich, tastes-like-heaven, veggie-packed brownies that you will want to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Bonus!
These brownies are even better out of the freezer, in my opinion.
Those layers of chocolate take on an extreme fudge likeness after being in the deep freeze.
I nearly mistook them for fudge’s twin!
So, I was going to invite friends over to share in the goods with me, but after one bite…
I knew I was going to stash them in my freezer to take on this weeks camping trip.
Because this batch of brownies is going nowhere, except in my belly.
Sorry friends, I’ll make you another batch next week.❤❤
A few tips on making these brownies:
- Use a food processor when mixing the batter and prepping the frosting. This is the one I use daily.
- Store the leftover brownies in these reusable storage bags in the freezer.
- Pro tip: make a double batch of the avocado buttercream and stash it in the freezer for finger dipping at snack time. You won’t regret it! 🙂
Well, that’s about it, I think you are ready to make the best avocado brownies of your life! Enjoy!

Your food is always SO beautiful! Do you think you could sub date paste for the maple syrup?
Thank you Leah! That might work… let me know how it goes! 🙂
These look amazing! Don’t have a food processor, wondering if they would work using a hand mixer? Also, what if I decided to leave out the frosting and instead just use some chocolate chips on top – would they still be tasty? Or not as much?! Thanks!!
Hi Zoey, you can use a high speed blender in place of the food processor.
That looks like heaven. I saw this recipe and your chocolate cupcake recipe and I’m completely in love with both of them. I need to do a grocery run tomorrow so I’m getting everything I need to make them!
Thank you Byan!
Can you tell these have avocados and sweet potato in them??!!
Do they taste like it?
I can’t taste it, but that’s my personal taste. 🙂
MOST YUMMY-SCRUMMY, GET-IN-MY-FACE brownies ever! Thanks for this bold recipe – I enjoyed making it, as I found the ingredients a bit whacky. It all works brilliantly and now my search for brownies to get me through, is over!
Thank you so much Chantal!
Hi hi! I don’t have any food processor nor speed blender. How can I make these?
Hi Marina, I don’t know that’s there’s a good way to do it… unless you want to do a LOT of fine mincing by hand… Sorry!
Can I use a “Vegan egg” in this?
Hi Ashlee, they are already super fudgey, so I don’t know how well a vegan “egg” would do in this recipe.
What type of coco powder do you use for these?
Hi Sunny, I use this cocoa powder: https://amzn.to/2JLoMor
Better than a traditional brownie without a doubt.
