Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

Melissa King Healthy Cookies, Recipes

I know what you are thinking.  Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies?  Avocado in cookies?  Yes.  For reals.  Trust me it’s so good!

My husband made fun of me as I was mixing them up, but he partook in many of them!  These Vegan Avocado Cookies made him a believer.

Avocado makes everything better right? These healthy cookies are perfect for St Patrick’s Day.  They have a slight hint of green and a minty flavor.

So good!  If you like healthy cookies, you may also like my Salted Caramel Flourless Cookies or my Flourless Snickerdoodles.

    1. Why don't you try mixing the wet ingredients in a blender and then transfer to a bowl and mix by hand. I think that could work

  7. Can I make the oat flour in a food processor first? I don't have any store-bought. If not, can I use almond flour or some kind of almond flour coconut flour mix?

    1. Yes you can. That is how I made my oat flour for this recipe. Almond flour may work, but don't try coconut flour. It's not an easy sub

  10. Hi Melissa. I made these cookies last night and they are tasty. At first I was skeptical because the mint and maple combo smelled awful (I even cut down the mint to 1/2 tsp because I was afraid of the contrast), but I've made your recipes in the past and trusted that these cookies would come out as a tasty treat. And they did. I like how they aren't greasy like when you use butter and they have a nice firm consistency. I shared a bit or two with my 1 year-old and he seemed to enjoy it. Keep up the good work!

    2. Update: I tried this cookie recipe several more times over the past 2 months and they are still tasty. I tried this with coconut flour, and used 1/2 cup coconut flour and added a few tablespoons of water to the mix. The results came out ok; I think I put in too much water as the cookies fell apart and they seemed a little mushy. I will keep experimenting as I think this is a delicious recipe. Enjoy your recipes, and I forward them to others looking for simple and delicious recipes.

  14. I made these for the first time today and they were a hit with all 3 kids - they each had 2 and would have had more! I did not have enough maple syrup so I added some dates for sweetness and had a handful of chickpeas also as they were sitting on the counter at the time. I cleaned out the food processor with a spoon before washing it - delicious raw too! Can't wait to try more recipes :)

    2. I made these with one drop of peppermint essential oil. I think they helped greatly to reduce the avocado taste because I tasted the batter before and after and I thought it made a big difference. Just FYI. The recipe was awesome.
