Fudgiest Avocado Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 Ripe avocado (ripe to overripe; no under ripe)
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1 tsp Salt (referred to as OCEAN salt)
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 6 tbsp Cocoa powder (1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp)
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• Chocolate chips (mixture of white and milk chocolate; measure with your heart)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).

2. 2

   Add the avocado, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda, salt, butter, vanilla, cocoa powder, and almond flour into a food processor.

3. 3

   Process the mixture until everything is completely combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula if necessary to ensure no lumps remain.

4. 4

   Grease an 8.5" x 7" baking pan with butter or oil.

5. 5

   Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and gently bang the pan on the counter to remove any excess air bubbles.

6. 6

   Sprinkle a combination of white and milk chocolate chips over the top of the batter.

7. 7

   Bake at 325°F (162°C) for 18-20 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out smooth. Be careful not to overbake.

8. 8

   Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with a glass of milk.

Notes

The author recommends using an 8.5" x 7" pan. Ensure the avocado is ripe or overripe for the best texture; underripe avocados will not blend smoothly. Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy consistency.
