Yields16 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time35 minsTotal Time45 mins

 Non-stick cooking spray
 1 medium ripe avo, mashed
 ¼ cup extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
 ½ cup pure maple syrup
 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
 ½ tsp sea salt
 ¼ cup gluten-free flour
  cup dark chocolate chips

1

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with aluminium foil. Lightly coat with spray. Set aside.

Combine mashed avocado, oil, egg, maple syrup, and extract in a medium bowl; mix well. Set aside.

Combine cocoa powder, salt, and flour in a medium bowl; mix well.

Add cocoa powder mixture to avo mixture; mix well.

Add chocolate chips; mix until blended.

Pour batter into prepared pan; spread to make even.
(If you’re like us, the next step would be to lick the bowl. Alright, that’s enough.)

Bake for 33 to 36 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.

Cool for an hour before removing from pan. Cut into sixteen squares, or just eat the whole thing yourself. We won’t tell anyone.
