Ingredients

1/4 cup Avocado pureed or well-mashed
1/4 cup Avocado Oil
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour Or all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Unsweetened
3/4 cup natural raw sugar Replace sugar with a tiny bit of Pure Stevia Powder -it goes along way.
3/4 cup Applesauce Unsweetened, to replace the bulk of using Stevia powder instead of sugar.
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cups water
1-1/2 cups Dark Chocolate chips If you are vegan, use non-dairy chocolate chips; darker the better!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch square pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed avocado and olive oil until smooth.
Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar substitute (tiny bit of Stevia & unsweetened applesauce), baking soda, salt and water. Stir until smooth.
Fold in 1 cup of the dark chocolate chips.
Pour prepared pan and the spread the batter evenly throughout the pan. Sprinkle with additional 1/2 cutoff the dark chocolate chips on the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Don't over bake or the brownies will have a cake-like texture.
Remove and let the brownies sit out for at least 20 minutes before serving. Cut & serve OR cover and store for up to 3 days. You can also freeze in an airtight container for later enjoyment!

Notes

Cooks Notes:

There are some different types of Stevia. The cleanest and best tasting is Stevia powder, as there are no additives. It is a little more expensive, but you will need very small amount goes a long way. Because of this, you have to adjust the other ingredients in your recipe to make up for the lost bulk. I use applesauce most often, as I do with this recipe.

If you like a mocha flavor in your brownies, replace 1/4 cup of water with 1/2 cup of brewed coffee :)
