Soft, chewy and buttery, these vegan, gluten free Avocado Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are everything you crave in a cookie, and we're sneaking in some healthy fats in them!

Six cookies on a cooling rack

When you think avocado, a cookie isn't exactly what comes to mind, is it? Maybe guac , tacos or avo toast... but definitely not cookies! Or... is it?

Looks like adding avocado to yummy baked goods isn't all that uncommon. Our friend Sara at A Whisk And Two Hands has been doing it for years now ( check out her delicious cookie recipe HERE ) so... we're kinda late to the party! But hey, better late than never, right?

If you're one of those parents who is always trying to sneak healthy foods in anything your kids would eat, these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are for you.

For this recipe, we substituted avocado  for some of the  coconut oil. Avocados are high in potasium, antioxidants and heart healthy mono unsaturated fats, and add richness a similar richness as butter or coconut oil. By using almond meal instead of wheat flour, we're adding even more healthy fats. And The oats add fiber and a great chewy texture.

Steps of the process

But probably one of the best things about these cookies, is how easy they are to prepare. No mess, no fuss. Just make sure to remember two things:

1) The avocado must be soft enough, so it can be easily whipped

2) Let the cookies cool completely before eating them, if you want don't want any avocado taste ( you will notice it slightly when the cookies are warm)

And that's it! Kid and parent approved cookies in no time.

Enjoy!
