Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
Organic Coconut Oil (melted)
-
1/2 cup
60% Dark Chocolate Chips
-
1
Avocado
-
2
Eggs
-
1/2 cup
Pure Maple Syrup
-
2 teaspoons
Pure Vanilla Extract
-
3/4 cup
Unsweetened Cacao/Cocoa Powder
-
1/4 cup
Coconut Flour
-
pinch
Salt
-
1/2 cup
Chopped Walnuts
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Spray an 8"x8" baking pan with coconut oil spray. Line with foil and spray the foil with coconut oil spray as well.
-
In a double boiler on low-medium heat, add coconut oil and dark chocolate chips. Once melted, turn off the stove. Set aside to cool.
-
In a food processor, add the avocado, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until well-combined.
-
Now add the cacao powder, coconut flour, salt and the cooled dark chocolate. Blend.
-
At this time you can add the walnuts and pulse a few times in the food processor, OR you can chop up the walnuts and fold it into the batter. I personally prefer folding the walnuts into the batter so the walnuts are more obvious in every bite and not chopped up into tiny pieces.
-
Batter is ready.
-
Pour brownie batter into the lined foiled pan.
-
Spread evenly.
-
Into the oven for 30 minutes.
-
Cut into 16 squares ( I did 12, but 16 is the right amount ). Enjoy!
