Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup well-mashed avocado
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or any neutral-flavored oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup water (or coffee)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (140 grams) all-purpose flour (or white whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Additional
- 1 1/2 cups (around 9 ounces) vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed avocado and avocado oil until the mixture is smooth and any large avocado chunks are broken down. Add the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, vanilla extract, sea salt, and water (or coffee), mixing all ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup of the vegan chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips evenly on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid over-baking to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Allow the brownies to cool for at least 20 to 25 minutes before cutting.
- Serve: Cut the brownies into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy your moist, vegan chocolate treat!
Notes
- Using coffee instead of water enhances the chocolate flavor in the brownies.
- Do not over-bake for fudgier brownies; 20 minutes is ideal with the 8-inch pan.
- The mashed avocado adds moisture and healthy fats, replacing traditional butter or eggs.
- You can substitute white whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a slightly nuttier flavor.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
