• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Total Time: 40 minutes

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 × 8-inch baking pan gently or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Avocados:
   Scoop the avocado flesh into a sizable mixing basin. Use a fork or a hand blender to mash them until smooth.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mashed avocados. Beat until well combined and smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   Stirring until thoroughly blended, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. The batter will be thick.
6. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
   Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips if using.
7. Bake:
   Pour the batter into the baking pan, making sure to distribute it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 12 pieces and serve.

Tips:

1. Storage:
   Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Moreover, they can be frozen for extended storage.
2. Sweetener:
   You can taste and adjust the sweetness. Before baking, taste the batter and adjust the sweetness as needed.
3. Texture:
   If you prefer a fudgier brownie, you can reduce the baking time slightly. For a more cake-like texture, bake a little longer.
4. Add-ins:
   Feel free to customize your brownies with other keto-friendly add-ins such as nuts, seeds, or a swirl of nut butter.
5. Blending Avocado:
   For the smoothest texture, use a hand blender or food processor to blend the avocados.
