Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your brownies will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Cool the brownies completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Acorn brownies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. They are made with wholesome ingredients like avocados, oats, and acorn flour, and they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup.
