Avocado Brownies

Bahan-bahan (16 porsi)

• 1 large avocado (peeled and pitted)
• 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature (to make the brownies dairy free, use coconut oil))
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional; will yield a more intense chocolate flavor but will *not* make the brownies taste like coffee)
