Unless you have a medical issue with sugar, there's nothing wrong with eating it. That said, I did a quick Google search and found a few recipes for avocado brownies. They're paleo/keto/low carb recipes, but a look over the ingredients shows there's not much sugar in them (sugar subs, yes, if that bothers you). Me, I'd use the first link since I didn't have to scroll through 16 pictures and 1000 paragraphs to get to the recipe.

I love brownies, but am I the only person that hears "avocado brownie" and thinks, "what a waste of a delicious avocado?"17

They are yummy. There are low sugar recipes out there that others have tried and perfected. Good luck!
ps: black bean brownies are awesome too.2 -

Yes to both! I made brownies once with a chocolate avocado frosting. I love chocolate and I love avocados, but the combination was disgusting.3 -

A little, but I don't like brownies that much.
Chocolate and avocado do go great together.2 -
Man people get defensive about their sugar. To each his/her own. OP there are definitely ways to reduce sugar used in baking, I’m pretty sure Whole earth sweetener makes one that is cut with stevia.2

Odd series of posts from which to conclude that people are defensive about sugar.3

Unless I’m missing something that sounds like an awful combination.1

Nope. Love brownies. Love avocados. Combining them is an atrocity.3 -
Maybe the large amount of sugar is to cover the taste of avocado? IDK, I don't understand this trend. No one eats a brownie for health benefits. I blame the guilt from the diet industry.4

I've never had one with avocado, but I have had a gf brownie that used black beans instead of flour, and it was great and you couldn't taste the black beans at all. Perhaps avocado is similar, and you can't taste it in the final product.3

Having tasted them, I say: go for it OP. You won't know if you like it until you try! I decided to give black bean brownies a try and absolutely adored them. Left the plate out and hubs loved them too.

bacon and peanut butter... I've never tried it. Some folks swear by it.0 -
Delicious or not, no brownie should be that shade of green2

Calories in avocado or bean based brownies tend to on par with plain ol' flour based brownies. So I eat the latter if I want a brownie.
If you have bonafide diagnosed wheat/gluten/other ingredient in traditional brownie recipe intolerance, I can see the attraction. Otherwise...yeah, I can think of better eats to spend bean and/or avocado calories on.4 -

Yeah, I made some chocolate avocado muffins recently and they tasted fine, but you'd never know there was avocado in them. It really is a waste.1 -
