Ingredients

  • 1 avocado peeled and stone removed
  • 1 cup (100g) oats
  • ⅛ cup (25g) raisins optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F / 160°C.
  2. Mash the avocado in a bowl.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and combine.
  4. Roll into balls and place on to a lined cookie sheet. Press down lightly with a fork.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until they start to turn golden. Cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Be sure to mash the avocado really well. If it's ripe, this should be easy.
  • For smaller kids, use finer quick cook oats so the pieces of it are smaller.
  • You could shape the avocado cookies into ‘fingers’ for easy snacking, so little ones can hold them easier.
  • You can swap the avocado for mashed banana.
  • Try adding in some extra flavors with a pinch of cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend.
  • For older children and adults who have more of a sweet tooth, you may wish to sweeten them slightly. Try adding a teaspoon of maple syrup, honey or agave nectar.
  • Press a few dark chocolate chips into the top of each cookie after baking, if you want to add extra sweetness, but don't want to add many chocolate chips.
  • Swap the raisins for chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, dried cherries or other dried fruit.
  • Grate in a little carrot for extra vegetables in these hidden vegetable cookies.
