Servings 16 brownies
Ingredients
- ½ cup mashed avocado
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- ½ cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to a food processor. Process on high until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the lined brownie pan.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Finally, remove the pan from the oven. Allow the brownies to completely cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If you use a 9-inch square pan, the brownies will be less thick.
- One large avocado yields about ½ cup mashed avocado.
- Feel free to use a food processor or a blender. Do not mix by hand.
- The brownie batter will be thicker than boxed brownie batter.
- Do not overbake. The brownies will look shiny and gooey. They will set as they cool down.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- We love these straight from the fridge!
