Add the almonds and chocolate pieces or chips into the cocoa-flour mixture.

In the same food processer (no need to clean), process the oil, avocado, eggs, and sugars until smooth.

Transfer the wet mixture to the dry ingredient mixture, then gently fold until just moistened and incorporated.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the batter has just barely set in the middle.
