Serves
This recipe makes 12 brownies
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C and grease an 8-inch pan
Mash the avocado and oil until smooth
Beat flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, water and lemon juice. Combine until you have a smooth batter
Add the chocolate chips to the mix and stir well
Pour the batter into a well-greased baking tray and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips on top
Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes (it might take a little longer depending on your oven)
Tips
The brownies are ready when the mixture has risen and is coming away from the side of the pan. The mixture should be moist with a few crumbs but not runny.
Leave brownies in the pan to cool for about 10 – 15 minutes. Transfer to wire tray, cut into squares.
