Ingredients
  • 3 eggs (or 3 whites and one full egg)
  • ½ - ⅔ cup honey
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup almond meal
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe avocados
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan.
  2. If you don't have almond meal, it's really easy to make your own in a food processor or high-powered blender. Simply place whole, natural, almonds in and whiz until they turn to fine crumbs.
  3. Beat the eggs well. Mix with the honey until very well combined. I mixed mine in my new Vitamix (I LOVE that thing!) but it's just as easy to do with a mixer or a strong arm. :)
  4. Melt the chocolate chips and add to the egg mixture.
  5. Stir in everything else but the avocados. If you are using your blender, this is a good time to pour out the ingredients into a bowl. Once the avocados are added things get really thick and it's a bit of a job to get everything to mix and then scrape everything out of a blender. (Speaking from experience!)
  6. Mash the avocados well until there are absolutely no lumps. (I ran them through the Vitamix with a little of the batter to keep things moving until they were really smooth. A food processor would work well too.)
  7. Fold the avocado into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the pan. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
