Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray
  • Food processor/blender
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 large avocado
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoons baking soda
  • cup semisweet chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a blender or food processor combine avocado, applesauce, honey and vanilla (if you don't have a blender, you can mix by hand until smooth).
  • Add these ingredients to a large bowl and whisk in eggs.
  • Add in coconut flour, cocoa powder, sea salt and baking soda and stir until completely mixed together. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top (if using).
  • Place in oven to bake for 22-25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 20 minutes before cutting.
  • Keep them on the counter in an airtight container at room-temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • When it comes to baking, you can use an avocado as a substitute for butter, shortening, and/or oil. While avocados do have fat, it’s more of the “good-for-you” fats instead of saturated fats.
