Ingredients

1½ cup semisweet chocolate chips divided
1 medium avocado ripe
3 large eggs at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
2 tbsp arrowroot starch
1/4 tsp sea salt
OPTIONAL: 1 cup finely grated zucchini moisture squeezed out (about 1 medium zucchini) - measure before squeezing
OPTIONAL: flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Add 1 cup of chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until smooth when stirred. You can also use a double boiler. Set aside to cool.
Place avocado, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor, and process until smooth and creamy. Stir in melted chocolate.
Stir in cocoa powder, arrowroot starch, and sea salt until combined.
Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (reserve 2 tbsp if you want to sprinkle some on top of the brownies - I didn't) and zucchini, if using. Fold to combine.
Transfer to the prepared baking pan and spread to an even layer with a spatula. Add reserved chocolate chips on top, if using.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a little bit of crumbs.
Remove from the oven, cool, then remove from the pan. Slice into 16 squares, and enjoy!

Expert Tips

For an optional nutrient boost, you can add zucchini. I like to include 1 cup, and you won't even notice it. Just be sure to squeeze out most of the liquid before adding.

Serving & Storage Tips

Serve these avocado brownies topped with a little vanilla ice cream (vegan or regular), or drizzle peanut butter (or almond butter) on top, or enjoy by themselves.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or up to a week in the refrigerator. I personally prefer them chilled.

To freeze, wrap each cooled brownie in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or for an hour or so at room temperature before enjoying.
