Vegan brownies are a staple in our house. We are constantly experimenting with various ingredients to try and create a fudgy vegan brownie that tastes delicious. This recipe is unique in that it contains two ingredients that might surprise you. The first ingredient is aquafaba, also known as the liquid found in a can of chickpeas that you typically pour down the drain. The second secret ingredient to creating fudgy vegan brownies, is one very ripe avocado.

This recipe makes one small pan of fudgy non-dairy vegan brownies. We use a glass 11×7 inch pan, but you could definitely use a square 8×8 or 9×9 as well. This recipe makes a perfect amount of treats to enjoy with your family. These brownies can be made gluten-free if you substitute the flour with a gluten-free baking mix. We tried the gluten-free option, and it came out perfectly! I hope you will give this recipe a try and leave me a comment and tell me how you liked them!

Hands up I love a good chocolate brownie and these sound like they would be right up my street I’ll have to give them a try.
These brownies are so good, I really hope you give them a try!
They look SO GOOD! I am not shocked at the ingredients. People just do not realize that flavors can have a very yummy taste when blended right. So much healthier to say the least.
Thank you! The ingredients work really well together and are so much better for you.
This is interesting. I never thought you could use avocados in brownies. I can’t wait to try your recipe.
The avocado makes the brownies moist and fudgy and healthy! I really hope you try them.
I cannot wait to eat some brownies! My husband and I ate a whole batch of cookies this weekend already.
Sounds like you are having a very sweet weekend!
Wow, vegan brownies. I am totally up for this and they look ever so yummy that I want them in my tummy 🙂
They are super good! I really hope you try them.
This is a great recipe and they really look yummy! I will have to try them!
Thank you! I hope you will give them a try.
I am not vegan, but I am sure those brownies are delish because they have my fave avocado. Yummy! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Avocados are a great way to make the brownie moist and delicious!
Wow, I never thought about making brownies with those ingredients before. They look delicious!
Right? These two surprising ingredients are a great way to make healthier brownies.
Yummy! Even though I’m not vegan, i would enjoy these. They look so delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
You definitely do not have to be vegan to enjoy these brownies.
My daughter eats vegan and makes her own version of vegan brownies. It is very different from this one. We will have to make this one soon. They look a little more chocolaty than our version.
I would love to know how your daughter likes this recipe! Ours are very chocolately and fudgy.
I love brownies in all forms and these look amazing!! Great recipe!!
Thank you so much!
These brownies sound good. I haven’t tried vegan brownies that I know of. I do know someone that adds zucchini to their brownie recipe. I am all for healthy treats.
I have made a brownie with zucchini before and they were also very good!
Never even heard of aquafaba (liquid in a can of chickpeas) … so no chickpeas at all… just the liquid?!!
Yes, aquafaba is magic!! You must try it. I use it all the time. You just put the liquid from the can of chickpeas in. If you watch the video you can see how we make it. Please try it and see how awesome aquafaba is!
Oh wow! Avocado in brownies! Never thought of this before! Definitely an idea to try. Glad I pinned it!
Thank you for pinning! this is such a great recipe. Avocados and chickpea juice are magical ingredients.
These look and sound delicious! I would have never thought to add the avocado and the chickpea liquid. So smart!
Thank you! These 2 ingredients make the brownies taste so good!
I’m shocked and thrilled. I’m more incline to try them because I love avocados. I can’t say that I’ve ever had them in my brownies.
You really must try these! Avocados are delicious in brownies.
I have a daughter and a friend that eat vegan only so it’s a little difficult for me to cook for them. I’m rounding up all the recipes I can. I can’t wait to try this one and see what they think of it.
Yes, they will love it! I am sure it will be a big hit.
Great video there. I’am making these this afternoon as I have some leftover aquafaba from making
some Chickwheat. Thanks for this fab recipe.
I hope you enjoyed them as much as we did!
