Ingredients

• 1 medium Ripe avocado
• 200 grams Dark chocolate chips
• 30 grams Cocoa powder
• 65 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 30 milliliters Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 50 grams Optional: Chopped nuts or chocolate chunks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocado until completely smooth or use a food processor for a creamier texture.

Step 3

Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted chocolate to the mashed avocado and mix well until fully combined.

Step 5

Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and shiny.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently. Avoid overmixing to maintain the fudgy texture.

Step 8

Stir in the milk to loosen the batter. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or additional chocolate chunks for extra texture and flavor.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 12

Slice into squares and serve. These brownies are perfect on their own or with a scoop of ice cream!
