- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the avocado: Scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado and place it into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the base for your brownies.
- Add dry and wet ingredients: To the blended avocado, add the cocoa powder, sugar, and eggs. Blend again until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
