Step 6: Transfer the batter into the pre-lined baking pan, and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a little bit of chocolate chips over it, and bake in your pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the brownies are set.

Notes:
- If you can’t get your hands on some avocado oil, vegetable oil or canola oil does a good enough job as a substitute.
- Being the luckiest person on earth, if you have some leftovers, you can store them in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days, and in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months but that won’t be needed.
