Whenever you have a chocolate craving, these healthy chocolate avocado cookies are the answer. Sugar and dairy free, they are also available in a vegan version!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe avocado, finely mashed*
  • ½ cup (100g) coconut palm sugar**
  • 1 egg (for the vegan version, see my notes below***)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (50g) dark cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • ⅓ cup (40g) flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ounces (60 g) 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped****

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (150°C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Combine the finely mashed avocado, coconut palm sugar, egg (or for vegan version with flaxseed prepared as instructed in notes below***), and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and baking soda.
  4. Mix together the wet and dry ingredients until just combined, then gently stir in the dark chocolate pieces****.
  5. Using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, add one heaping Tablespoon of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the top a little bit and add a few more chocolate pieces on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the top has set (don’t over-bake!). Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes on the baking tray, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

* Avocado. You will need 1 medium avocado, or approx. 4 ounces (115g) mashed avocado. Make sure it is mashed very finely with a fork.

** Coconut palm sugar can be replaced by light brown sugar. Do not use granulated sugar in this recipe.

*** VEGAN VERSION. For the vegan version, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and mix with 3 tablespoons of water. Mix well and set aside for about 10 minutes to thicken before using it.

**** Dark chocolate. Instead of using 70% dark chocolate, chopped roughly into pieces using a large knife, you can use chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
