Avocado Brownies

Avocado Brownies

Makes 1 pan of brownies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup spelt or whole purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar
• 1 large avocado, pit removed and peeled
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

1. Butter an 8- or 9-inch baking pan. Preheat an oven to 350°.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt.
3. In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring often, until melted. Transfer to a large bowl.
4. Mash the avocado with the water and stir into the chocolate. Stir in the sugar until everything is well combined. Stir in the flour until well combined. Add the vanilla and heavy cream and stir well.
5. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean.
6. Let the brownies sit in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into small squares with a sharp knife.
