butter

sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor.

flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Almond flour is gluten-free but can be more expensive.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and can be healthier.

Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

Mash the avocado in a small bowl with a potato masher or a fork, removing as many lumps as you can; set aside.

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil over medium-low heat in a small saucepan, whisking until smooth; remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together for 1-2 minutes. This is important for getting the brownies to have the crackly top! Then, pour in the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Next, add the brewed coffee, vanilla, almond flour, and salt, along with the mashed avocado, and fold together.

Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake them for 35-40 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, then remove and slice. Enjoy!
