2. - In a large bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking soda.
3. - Measure 2/3 cup chocolate chips into a microwave-safe container. Microwave at half (50%) power 1 minute and stir. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is almost melted. Stir thoroughly until chocolate is smooth.
4. - In the bowl of a food processor, process avocados until smooth.
5. - Add melted chocolate, agave nectar, instant coffee and vanilla to the food processor. Process until thoroughly combined.
6. - Add eggs and process until combined, scraping down bottom and sides of bowl as needed.
7. - Add flour mixture and process just until mixed. Stir in remaining chocolate chips and 3/4 cup pecan chips.
8. - Divide batter evenly among pan cavities, filling about 2/3 full. Smooth tops of brownies with a spatula and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecan chips.
9. - Bake 12-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out almost clean. Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then turn out onto the cooling rack to cool completely.
