Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup Mashed Ripe Avocado (about 1 avocado with green flesh and no dark spots)
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup
- 3 tablespoons Tahini (or almond butter or peanut butter)
- ¾ cup Almond Milk
- ½ cup Coconut Sugar
- ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a square brownie pan with lightly oiled parchment paper.
-
Before you start, measure the mashed avocado in your measuring cup to avoid adding too much, which could alter the flavor of the brownies.
-
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the mashed avocado, maple syrup, tahini (or almond/peanut butter), almond milk, coconut sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, rolled oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
-
Process the brownie ingredients until a thick and creamy batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps of avocado. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times.
-
Remove the blade from the food processor and gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
-
Transfer the batter to the prepared brownie pan and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few crumbs.
-
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
-
For the best flavor and texture, cool the brownies down further by placing them in the fridge.
