Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 2 large Ripe Avocados Essential for creaminess and healthy fats, consider ripe bananas for a different twist.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness; substitute with maple syrup or honey for lower glycemic options.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Delivers rich chocolate flavor; Dutch-processed cocoa enhances smoothness.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Offers structure; swap with almond flour or oat flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent for texture; ensure it’s fresh for the best rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Boosts the overall flavor; choose pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness while enhancing flavors; a small pinch makes a big difference.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe avocados in a mixing bowl until completely smooth, creating a creamy consistency.
  3. Add granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed avocados. Blend until light and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cutting board and slicing into squares.
