Method
 

  1. Instructions:
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly pale.
  4. Slowly mix in the avocado oil until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes

Notes:
For extra richness, you can stir in ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts.
For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water).
Do not overbake! They continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven.
Use refined avocado oil for a more neutral flavor.
