*for egg free brownies do the following: 

• 1.5 Tablespoons ground chia (measured after it's ground)
• 1/4 cup cassava flour
• 1/2 cup water
• and cut the oil in the recipe in half (about 1/4 cup)

Why Avocado Oil is best for making Brookies?

Avocado oil makes a great, healthy substitute for vegetable oil.  It is unrefined, and high in healthy fat.   Avocado oil can be used for medium to high heat which means it’s great for baking. You can use it here in both the Brownie AND the Cookie layers. Yay!
