Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the egg (or flax egg), mashed avocado, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until fully blended.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula, then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness when a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
