Guilt-Free Chocolate Brownies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado

  mashed (about 1/2 cup)
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• optional: 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking
  pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
• 2 Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, maple
  syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
• 3 Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder,
  and salt. Stir until just combined. If using, fold in the dairy-free chocolate
  chips.
• 4 Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and
  spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a
  toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are
  okay).
• 5 Cool and Serve: 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
  serve.
