Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup mashed avocado from 1 large, very ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour can sub all-purpose, if needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch pan with parchment; set aside.
  • 2. Mash your avocado and measure out 2/3 cup. Whisk avocado with coconut oil, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until completely smooth. Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  • 3. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 15-20 minutes. Brownies should still be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. Mine were perfect at 18 minutes.
  • 4. Allow brownies to cool, then cut and eat. Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for 5.

Notes

I used an 8-inch round pan and cut my brownies into triangles, only because I don't own an 8x8 square baking dish. Feel free to use either.
