Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 2 whole Ripe Avocados Provides creaminess and healthy fats; substitute with ripe bananas for a unique twist.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds the necessary sweetness; can be replaced with maple syrup or coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Infuses rich chocolate flavor; ensure to use high-quality cocoa for the best results.
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Offers structure to the brownies; swap for almond or coconut flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps the brownies rise slightly; check freshness to ensure proper leavening.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the overall flavor; consider using vanilla bean paste for a richer taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor; kosher salt works best for a more moderate saltiness.
