Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed well
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocado and sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the avocado mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Sift the cocoa powder over the wet ingredients. Gently fold the cocoa powder into the batter until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares. Cooling helps achieve the fudgiest texture.
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- If you prefer a denser, more fudge-like texture, slightly underbake them by 2-3 minutes.
- You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a slightly chewier result.
