Avocado Brownies
Fudgy and rich chocolate avocado brownies replace butter with heart-healthy fats!
2 medium, ripe avocados skin and pit removed (halve the avocado and scoop out with a spoon)
½ cup raw granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
½ tsp. baking soda
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ tsp. salt
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set aside a lightly greased 8 x 8 baking dish. In a food processor, add the avocado, maple syrup, and sugar. Blend well. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well so that all of the ingredients are blended together. Make sure to scrape the sides for any remnants. Gently add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa and mix well. Turn off the processor and remove the blade. Stir in the chocolate chips using a spoon or spatula. Spread the batter into the pan evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until done. Test the middle of the batter with a knife or toothpick to make sure nothing sticks. Remove from heat and let cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
