9 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados mashed until completely smooth
- ½ cup 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup 65g coconut sugar (or ¼ cup maple syrup for a softer texture)
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is overhang for easy removal.
Combine Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados thoroughly until no lumps remain. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and coconut sugar (or maple syrup). Stir well until a thick, uniform batter is formed. If needed, use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.
Transfer and Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. For a firmer texture, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
This recipe is naturally gluten-free as it contains no flour or grains. However, to ensure it remains entirely gluten-free, verify that all ingredients, including cocoa powder and coconut sugar, are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
