Place the coconut oil and chopped chocolate pieces in a medium size heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of lightly simmering water. Stir the chocolate and coconut oil until they have completely melted.
In a large bowl, mash the avocado and then stir in the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the sugar, then add in the flax eggs and vanilla extract, mix well to combine.
Now add in the cocoa powder, almond meal, baking powder and salt, mixing until just combined (do not overmix).
