  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder plus 1 Tablespoon

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips

  • 9x9-inch baking pan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Avocados - In your mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados using a fork or potato masher until they are completely smooth.
  3. Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients - Add the melted butter, eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed avocados. Mix everything together until well combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients - Sprinkle in the almond flour, cocoa powder (reserve 1 tablespoon for later), baking powder, espresso powder (if using), and sea salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Stir in Chocolate Chunks - Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Bake - Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cocoa powder over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve - Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
