Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8x8 inch baking pan.
Step 2
Place all ingredients besides chocolate chips into blender or food processor. Process or puree until ingredients form a smooth batter. If the batter is WAY too thick and won't process then add in a teaspoon or two of water. This batter needs to be very thick in order to produce fudgy brownies.
Step 3
Add in 1/3 cup chocolate chips and fold into batter.
Step 4
Pour batter into prepared pan, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of remaining chocolate chips. You can also fold in nuts or swirl in peanut butter. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out somewhat clean and top of the brownies begin to crack.
Step 5
Cool pan completely on wire rack then cut into 12 delicious squares.
