Ingredients

1 cup of peanut butter
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 cup of white sugar
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup of soy milk  *You can use any milk you want such as, almond or coconut...* 
1 cup and 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour  *You can substitute any flour...*
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/8 teaspoon of salt


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C.) Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. 
2. Melt peanut butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan at low, remembering to stir often so as to not overcook the chocolate and make it seize.
3. Blend avocado and milk in a food processor or blender until smooth. Stir avocado mixture into the chocolate mixture until well combined, making sure not to overmix. 
4. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until light, fluffy, and well combined. Add avocado-chocolate mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.


5.  Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and place into the oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Another way to tell if the brownies are done is to look at the edges. Are they crisp? That is a good sign that they are done.

6. Cool completely before cutting and serving.
