Vegan Avocado Chocolate Brownie Bread
Zap your breakfast routine with this fudgy vegan avocado chocolate brownie bread. It's moist, rich, and secretly healthy. No eggs, no dairy, just pure chocolate satisfaction.
Serving: 10 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – 1 cup
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – ½ cup
- Coconut sugar – ¾ cup
- Baking soda – 1 tsp
- Salt – ½ tsp
- Ripe avocados – 2 medium
- Unsweetened almond milk – ½ cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- Dark chocolate chips – ½ cup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a blender or food processor. Add almond milk and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth, scraping sides as needed. (Tip: Use very ripe avocados for best texture—they should yield to gentle pressure.)
- Pour the avocado mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula just until combined—do not overmix, or the bread will be tough. (Tip: A few streaks of flour are okay; overmixing develops gluten.)
- If using, fold in dark chocolate chips with a few swift strokes.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. (Tip: Check at 40 minutes; ovens vary. If top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil.)
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Not only does this loaf taste like a brownie, but it also boasts a supremely tender crumb thanks to the avocado. Enjoy it warm with a drizzle of nut butter or spread a little coconut cream on top for an extra decadent treat.
