- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed avocado (about 2 medium avocados)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.

Notes
- Ensure your avocados are ripe for easy mashing and a smooth texture.
- For an extra fudgy brownie, do not overbake.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
