Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup mashed avocado
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla extract and mashed avocado, mixing until smooth and well-incorporated.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
