– 1/2 to 2/3 cup chocolate chips (essential)

Instructions
1-Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to avoid any sticking issues.
2-Combine ingredients: Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor and blend until completely smooth for a perfect batter base.
3-Stir in chocolate chips: Stir in the 1/2 to 2/3 cup chocolate chips to add that essential chocolate burst.
4-Pour and sprinkle: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and, if you like, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added texture.
5-Bake and cool: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, then let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting. If the brownies seem undercooked, refrigerate overnight to firm them up.
