Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Lightly grease a sheet pan or glass baking dish with the coconut oil.
In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except the avocado.  Mix well and, using wet hands, form 8 to 12 meatballs.
To stuff the meatballs, make a hole in the center, insert an avocado cube, and close up the hole, making sure the avocado is fully surrounded by meat.
Place the meatballs on the prepared sheet pan or baking dish and bake until cooked through, about 12 minutes.

You can also make 4 hamburgers instead of meatballs.  Either stuff with avocado or slice and arrange on top just before serving.  Allow a few minutes more bake time due to size.  You can also make 4 hamburgers instead of meatballs.  Either stuff with avocado or slice and arrange on top just before serving.  Allow a few minutes more bake time due to size.
