Avocado Chocolate Bread


Ingredients: 
1 1/2 cup avocado
3 TBS coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 TBS coconut cream
3 TBS raw honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup pecans
2 cups almond flour (I use honeyville almond flour or I purchase almond meal at Trader Joe's).
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup raw cacao
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips (you can either use Enjoy Life or Lily's Chocolates, I purchase these at Whole Foods and now I do a lot of my shopping at Thrive Market).  Lily's Chocolates are stevia sweetened, nonGMO, and gluten free.  Enjoy Life are dairy, nut, and soy free.

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. In a food processor, pulse the avocado, coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut cream, honey, and eggs. 
  3. Now transfer that mixture to a bowl. 
  4. Chop up the pecans and add them to the mixture.  
  5. Add the almond flour, baking soda, cacao powder, salt, and chocolate chips. 
  6. Combine ingredients gently. 
  7. Prepare an 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper, and spraying it with coconut oil. 
  8. Spoon the batter into the pan.  
  9. Top with chocolate chips.  
  10. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
