- 1 large ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed avocado and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth.
- Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour (or all-purpose flour), baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips:
- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
- You can add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor.
