Avocado! But before I turn you away, you do not taste the avocado in the brownie, trust me. The avocado creates a super creamy consistency while also providing a source of healthy fats. These brownies are best served cold for the best texture.

SO… what ingredients will you need?

Avocado… duh right? Don’t worry about the avocado being slightly overripe here. Any ripe or over-ripe avocado will work. I would stay away from underripe, as it may not mash or blend well
Cacao powder: this is can be substituted with cocoa powder as well, both will work.
Eggs: I have not tried this recipe with flax or chia eggs, but I have tested with egg whites (1 egg: 2 egg whites ratio)
Almond butter: any nut or seed butter will work, but some may provide a slightly different taste. I use almond butter as it has a very neutral taste when added to baked goods
Coconut sugar: If you do not have coconut sugar, you could use a mix of white and brown sugar, as the texture of coconut sugar tends to be a mix of both. If you try either as a replacement, let me know in the comments how it worked!
Baking soda, vanilla and chocolate chips or any other mix-ins! I’ve used walnuts before, which is such a fabulous combination. If you are keeping with dairy free, make sure to choose a dairy free chocolate
Oh and sprinkles… did I mention not optional?
