Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 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.
- Incorporate the flour: Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Bake the brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure they hold together well. Enjoy as is or with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
- Use a ripe avocado to ensure smooth blending and a creamy texture.
- Adjust sugar amount to taste for different sweetness levels.
- Do not overbake to avoid dry brownies; aim for a fudgy consistency.
- Reuse leftover avocado in salads or spreads to reduce waste.
- Gluten-free flour can substitute regular flour for a gluten-free option.
