• Optional dark chocolate chips:Elevate the chocolate factor in these healthy avocado brownies. Dark chocolate chunks is another great option.

Expert Tips and Variations

• For a fudgy texture, make sure not to over bake the brownies. A slightly gooey center is what you're aiming for. For the best results, ensure your avocados are ripe and soft.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, a splash of vanilla extract, nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor.
• Sprinkle large coconut flakes on top of the brownie batter prior to baking. The best part is that they'll toast beautifully during the process.
• Store the chocolatey brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for the day, in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze individually wrapped in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Top tips

• Use a food processor, hand blender or high-speed blender for creamier avocado texture. The batter consistency will be smoother than smashed avocado with a fork.
• Allow the brownies to cool completely, preferably in the fridge, before cutting to get clean, neat squares.
