Himalayan Salted Avocado Brownies
Published
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Serves: Makes 6 - 9 brownies
Allergy Information: Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Lactose Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 120g Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 200g 80% cacao dairy free dark chocolate
- 1 ripe avocado
- 150g Coconut Sugar
- 3 eggs
- 70g gluten free plain flour
- 35g Cacao Powder
- A big pinch Himalayan salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, gas mark 4.
- Line a baking tin, roughly 25cm x 25cm.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil – you can either do this in the microwave or add them to a bowl set over a pan of boiling water. Once melted, stir together and set aside.
- Meanwhile, mash the avocado with a fork, until completely smooth.
- Using a mixer, whisk the Coconut Sugar and eggs until light in colour and airy (about 3 minutes) then add the avocado to this mixture and keep whisking.
- While the mixer is going round, slowly pour in the chocolate and coconut oil. If you put it in too quickly or don’t let the chocolate oil cool sufficiently, the eggs will scramble so be careful.
- Sieve in the flour and Cacao Powder and fold until just combined and then pour the mixture into the tin. Sprinkle the Himalayan salt over the top and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- To test they are done, insert a skewer and there should still be some mixture on it but the brownies shouldn’t wobble.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin completely before cutting them up
- Tip: We decorated ours with drizzled melted dark chocolate and edible flowers from the garden!

Enjoy!

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking
Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.
These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
