Nope it’s not the cacao powder. It’s because avocados can turn REALLY bitter when heated. Unfortunately, there are a lot of recipes out there with cooked avos. I’m guessing it doesn’t happen every time so the original poster has good results but doesn’t realize there can also be horrible results. I found out that hard way with a different chocolate avocado brownie recipe and wasted expensive ingredients. But I’m thinking of trying this one raw and freezing it since all the ingredients are ok to eat raw.

Hi Jordan, I am so happy I came across this recipe!! They turned out so gooey and delicious – my Mr was a big fan!! In regards to the recipe, I have a real sweet tooth, so I almost doubled the agave. I also added a little bit of flour (no more than 1/4 of a cup). I’ll be saving this recipe for many more future bakes. Thank you!! X

Hi Linda, I’m so sorry to hear that! I wonder if it was the cacao powder you were using? Maybe next time try carob powder if you’re ever willing to try them again. I am not sure what else could have gone wrong! The batter for these should even taste sinfully delicious and pudding/mousse-like before you bake them, so if that was bitter than it was probably an indication. I am sorry you had a bad experience though – I hope it doesn’t deter you from other recipes on the blog! Wish I could make you a batch so you could taste how good they can be!

In reply to kelley. Cooconut oil can be melted or room temp. Ground flax seeds (flax seed meal)!!

…do you melt your coconut oil first, and do you use whole flax seeds or do you grind it then measure it out?
cheers!
