Healthy Chocolate Avocado Cookies
These easy and healthy chocolate avocado cookies are pillowy soft, rich and fudgy. Fill them with creamy frosting and transform them into cookie sandwiches.
Today, I am sharing the recipe for these “healthier” chocolate avocado cookies with you!
They are great for VEGANS since they are made with NO butter, NO milk and NO eggs.
These cookies are very RICH and FUDGY and pillowy SOFT.
You kinda feel like you are eating a bite sized BROWNIE!
I also tried making these avocado cookies with COCONUT SUGAR, which is a healthier alternative to granulated or brown sugar. They tasted great but their shape was a little different.
People ASSUME that since I make cakes, cupcakes and frostings all day, I am probably eating unhealthy stuff and weight a 1000 pounds…lol.
I will be HONEST… I enjoy eating cakes and cupcakes with icing because they taste so darn GOOD but, I also make a lot of HEALTHY baked treats for me and my family.
I love baking with AVOCADOS because they add so much RICHNESS and MOISTURE to my treats and they are so good for you as well.
A couple of years ago, I made this Avocado marble cake and it’s the softest, moistest cake ever!
Here are some of my most common healthy replacements in baking:
- Replacing eggs with flax seeds or applesauce.
- Replacing full fat milk or heavy cream with almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk because they are lower in calories and more nutritious.
- Replacing butter and margarine with coconut oil or olive oil or even mashed avocados.
Well, that’s all for today.

Until next time, tata my lovelies!
These look amazing!!
Thanks!
Yum! These look so delicious. I’ve been wanting to try avocado in a recipe, so these lol perfect.
At first, I was a little scared to try avocados in my dessert recipes but once I started, it’s been hard to stop…heheh. So far, I have made an avocado marble cake, avocado chocolate chip cookies and now these chocolate avocado cookies.
I can’t wait to try this! What a great flavor combo, and they look really soft! I think I’ll feature this on my Friday Favorites post tomorrow too! I’ll link it right back here, and would love to use a pic (credit given) if you’re ok with it! If not let me know!
They were really soft and very dense. That’s why they made awesome cookie sandwiches. You are more than welcome to share one picture and a link back to this recipe…Thanks for asking 🙂
