# Vegetable-Saturated Sweets The 'How Sweet It Is' Avocado Brownies are a Messy Dessert Option By Erin Kirkpatrick | Published 2012-08-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-sweet-it-is-avocado-brownies References: [howsweeteats](http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/08/fudgy-avocado-brownies) The 'How Sweet It Is' Avocado Brownies represent an intriguing new interpretation on a dessert-time favorite. These heavenly chocolate-infused creations involve an interesting new green ingredient, the avocado. Unlike traditional light and fluffy brownies, these ones are dense and rich similar to slabs of homemade chocolate fudge. This recipe does involve a fair share of mashing, mixing and melting, but looking at the results it is certainly worth the extra effort. Simply whisk together traditional brownie ingredients with avocados, dark chocolate and avocado oil. Although the brownies do not taste like avocado, the same cannot be said for the avocado frosting. For those looking to add some health-saturated fats to their brownie baking, the How Sweet It Is Avocado Brownies are the scrumptiously strange solution. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Healthy Dessert Alternatives:** Explores the trend of incorporating nutrient-dense ingredients like avocado into traditional dessert recipes, providing an opportunity for healthier indulgences. - **Creative Flavor Combinations:** Highlights the trend of experimenting with unconventional food pairings, such as the combination of avocados and chocolate, to create unique and exciting taste experiences. - **Ingredient Reinvention:** Showcases the trend of reimagining well-known ingredients like avocados and transforming them into unexpected forms to add novelty and excitement to culinary creations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Presents potential opportunities for food and beverage companies to develop innovative products that cater to health-conscious consumers seeking guilt-free indulgences. - **Health and Wellness:** Offers possibilities for the health and wellness industry to promote the benefits of incorporating nutrient-rich ingredients like avocados into everyday recipes to enhance overall well-being. - **Recipe Development:** Suggests opportunities for recipe developers and culinary professionals to explore unique ingredient combinations and techniques that reinvent classic dishes, appealing to adventurous food enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolate Avocado Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-dulce-de-leche-cupcake.md) - [Health-Focused Plant-Based Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-baking-mix.md) - [Protein-Rich Brownie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-addisons.md) - [Vegetable-Concealing Brownie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brownies-with-hidden-veggies.md) - [Glazed Protein Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-bites-protein-brownies.md) - [Health-Conscious Brownie Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grainfree-fudge-brownie-mix.md) - [Viral Mashup Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisco-dubai-chocolate-brownie.md) - [Nutritionally Enhanced Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great1.md) - [Indulgent Protein Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-chocolate-protein-brownies.md)
