Chocolate Avocado Cookies
The most fudgy, rich chocolate cookies! SO good.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup mashed avocado (about 1 1/4 avocado)
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 of a ripe banana OR 1 egg
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate bar or larger chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a food processor (a mixer with the whisk attachment would also work), pulse the avocado and coconut sugar. Add banana and pulse until really well combined. Add the cacao powder and baking soda and pulse.
Stir in chocolate.
Using a cookie scoop, drop cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper. Flatten a little (they don’t spread out while baking).
Bake 9-11 minutes. Flatten with a spoon or flat spatula halfway through cooking for a thinner cookie!
**I suggest freezing them so you’ll always have a healthy sweet treat on hand. These make awesome ice cream sandwiches or heat one up and serve over ice cream for a brownie sundae effect! Nada Moo ice cream is my favorite non-dairy vanilla ice cream!
The best ice cream cookie sandwich!
Raw cacao provides us a lot of antioxidants, nutrients, and can even help reduce stress and make us feel good! (1) Make sure to use raw cacao instead of cocoa powder which isn’t as pure and is usually sweetened. Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener that replaces sugar very well in baking and is much lower on the glycemic index than most natural sugars.
