Cook Time: 10 minutes
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 16 brownies
Skill Level: Beginner

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe avocados
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup almond milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
2. In a food processor or blender, puree the avocados until smooth and creamy.
3. In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate and pureed avocados, mixing until well combined.
4. Add in the coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and garnish with avocado slices and a sprinkling of sea salt, if desired.

Helpful Tips

• If you don’t have coconut sugar, feel free to use brown sugar or granulated sugar as a substitute.
• For a dairy-free version, ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free and use a non-dairy milk of your choice.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts or dark chocolate chunks to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

Storage Instructions

Store the avocado brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage; simply thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Pairings

Enjoy these avocado brownies with a tall glass of cold almond milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a warm cup of coffee. They also pair beautifully with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
