I found this recipe at: http://www.thesimplelens.com/2011/05/byeeee-byeeee-brownie/ and was in the kitchen making them before I could finish reading the ingredient list. It was raining and I had a chocolate craving. Usually, I bookmark recipes and make them a few weeks later, but I got excited and made these right away. Great chocolate flavor and cake-like texture. These brownie cakes freeze well for future chocolate cravings or to bring to mommy friends and make them happy. I ate one straight out of the freezer this afternoon. Make sure to use chocolate from a brand that guarantees no cross-contamination with nuts or seeds; they will be a hit with children and parents alike. This cake will give you another reason to love the avocado's versatility. So many vegan desserts include mashed banana and avocado. I will be posting a quinoa cookie made with bananas when I get around to it. I have to rely on others to tell me what they think of them though since I am allergic to bananas.
What you need:
1 avocado
3/4 cup cocoa powder (check out: http://www.vermontnutfree.com/)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup raw sugar

1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
1.5 cups water
3/4 cups choco chips (I use Enjoylife brand)

Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Smash avoado with spoon or in Thermomix.
