Description

Creamy peanut butter and avocado make these chocolate brownies smooth, rich, and vegan. No one will be able to guess the secret ingredient!

Ingredients

1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 Melt peanut butter, chocolate chips, and sugar together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium and continue stirring until mixture begins to bubble, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
3 Blend avocado, soy milk, and canola oil in a food processor until smooth. Stir avocado mixture into chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined.
4 Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well mixed. Add avocado-chocolate mixture to the flour mixture; stir until just combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to become crisp, about 20 minutes. Cool brownies completely before cutting and serving.
