Ingredients
Scale
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Add the baking powder and salt, and blend again until fully incorporated.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
