Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides; spray the parchment paper as well.
-
Step 2.
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Step 3.
In a food processor, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Pulse 4 or 5 times to blend. Add the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract; pulse until incorporated. Add the mashed avocado and the melted chocolate; process until just blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
Step 4.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment overhangs, lift the brownies out onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares.
