I make these fairly often, because they're amazing, and I think only 90 calories!

4 oz Baking Chocolate or Chocolate Chips (I use 70% dark chocolate)
1 T Coconut Oil
2 Large Avocados (1 c puree...give or take)
½ c Honey or Maple Syrup
¼ c Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 T Vanilla
1 T Coconut Flour
3 Eggs
½ t Baking Soda
½ t Gluten Free Baking Powder
½ t Salt

Instructions
In a microwave safe bowl, stir together the coconut oil ans baking chocolate and nuke for about 20 seconds at a time until melted, stirring in between so it doesn't curdle.
Puree the avocados in a food processor--make sure there are NO LUMPS. We want brownies, not guac.
Fold the chocolate into the avocados in a large mixing bowl.
With an electric mixer, beat the remaining ingredients into the batter until smooth.
Grease an 8x8 pan and pour the batter, smoothing out the edges.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins. Cool and serve.
