Heathy Cookies for Kids
Description
This simple recipe features mashed ripe avocado combined with oats and optionally raisins to form a dough. The avocado gives moisture and healthy fat, while oats provide texture and fiber. The cookies are shaped into small rounds, pressed flat, and baked at 325°F until golden around the edges.
The resulting cookies are mild in flavor, with a soft, slightly chewy texture. Raisins add natural sweetness but can be omitted or swapped for other dried fruits. Variations include adding cinnamon or pumpkin spice for extra flavor, or substituting avocado with mashed banana.
These cookies make a convenient and mildly sweet snack for children that includes some hidden vegetables when using grated carrot. They can also be shaped into finger-like forms to make handling easier for small children.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado peeled and stone removed
- 1 cup oats 100g
- ⅛ cup raisins optional, 25g
Instructions

- Mash the avocado in a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and combine.
