Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray an 8"x8" baking pan with coconut oil spray. Line with foil and spray the foil with coconut oil spray as well.
  • In a double boiler on low-medium heat, add coconut oil and dark chocolate chips. Once melted, turn off the stove. Set aside to cool.
  • In a food processor, add the avocado, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until well-combined.
  • Now add the cacao powder, coconut flour, salt and the cooled dark chocolate. Blend.
  • At this time you can add the walnuts and pulse a few times in the food processor, OR you can chop up the walnuts and fold it into the batter. I personally prefer folding the walnuts into the batter so the walnuts are more obvious in every bite and not chopped up into tiny pieces.
  • Batter is ready.
  • Pour brownie batter into the lined foiled pan.
  • Spread evenly.
  • Into the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Done.
  • Cut into 16 squares ( I did 12, but 16 is the right amount ). Enjoy!
