Ingredients

1 large avocado
1/2 cup non-dairy unsweetened milk such as soy
1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water (flax egg) Mix in small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cups all-purpose flour sifted*
1/2 cup cocoa powder sifted*
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup mini choc chips+ more for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare an 8x8 glass pan with parchment paper.
To a food processor, add your avocado, non-dairy milk, flax egg, vanilla, and sugar. Blend until combined and no chunks of avocado.
1 large avocado, 1/2 cup non-dairy unsweetened milk, 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water (flax egg), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla
Next, add your cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend only until combined (over blending can create tougher brownies).
3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
Pour in your chocolate chips and stir until combined.
1/2 cup mini choc chips+ more for topping
Pour your batter in your pan. Optional: top with more chocolate chips.
Bake for 25-28 minutes. The brownies will still be soft but will firm up as they cool. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars and enjoying. You can enjoy them chilled, room temp, or warmed with some ice cream on top-yum!
Store in the fridge for best results.

Notes

⭐️What is a flax egg?

A flax egg is a vegan substitute for a traditional egg, made by mixing ground flaxseed with water. The mixture forms a gel-like consistency that works as a binder in our brownie recipe. Mix the ground flax with water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.

⭐️Why sift flour and cocoa powder?

Sifting flour and cocoa powder removes lumps, creating a smoother and more even texture in baked goods. It also helps to aerate these ingredients, contributing to a lighter and fluffier brownie!

Mini chocolate chips - To keep this recipe vegan/dairy-free, use vegan chocolate chips (I love to use Enjoy Life mini chips!) You can also use regular sized chips if you prefer.
