How to Make Vegan Chocolate Avocado Brownies

Step 1 – Prep Ingredients

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan to ensure those brownies slide out like a dream. Then, mash your avocados until they’re smooth. This is where the magic begins!

Step 2 – Begin Cooking

In a large bowl, mix the mashed avocados with maple syrup until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. It’s like creating a silky base for our brownies.

Step 3 – Combine Ingredients

Now, add in the cocoa powder, flour, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix everything until well combined, ensuring a smooth batter. This is where the anticipation builds as the chocolate aroma starts to fill the kitchen.

Step 4 – Finish and Serve

Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, and use a toothpick to check for doneness. Once done, let them cool before slicing and serving. Trust me, the wait is worth it!

Tips for Perfect Results

Use ripe avocados for a smoother texture. They blend better and give the brownies that creamy consistency.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup. Everyone’s sweet tooth is different, after all.
Store these beauties in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They’ll stay delicious for days, if they last that long!
