🍽️ How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C).
💡 Always start with a preheated oven to ensure even baking.
Step 2: Line the Baking Pan
Line an 8×8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
💡 Leave a little overhang on the sides to easily lift out the brownies later.
Step 3: Mash the Avocado
Scoop out the ripe avocado into a bowl and mash it until smooth.
💡 Use a fork or blend for extra creaminess.
Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients
Add eggs, peanut butter, and agave syrup to the mashed avocado.
💡 Whisk until fully combined for a smooth batter base.
Step 5: Mix in the Cocoa Powder
Sift cocoa powder into the bowl and stir thoroughly.
💡 Sifting helps avoid clumps and makes mixing easier.
Step 6: Add Baking Powder
Sprinkle in the baking powder and mix until just incorporated.
💡 Don’t overmix — it could make the brownies tough.
Step 7: Fold in Chocolate Chunks
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks with a spatula.
💡 Save a few chunks to press on top for visual appeal!
Step 8: Pour into Tin
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top.
💡 Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
Step 9: Sprinkle Coconut Flakes
Add a light sprinkle of coconut flakes over the top.
💡 They’ll toast while baking, adding flavour and crunch.
Step 10: Bake & Cool
Bake for 40–45 minutes. Let cool fully before slicing.
💡 Brownies continue to set while cooling — resist cutting too early!
