Happy St. Patrick's Day! I thought I would bake something with my favorite green food, avocado! You've heard the saying before that avocado is "nature's butter" but did you know you can really substitute avocado for butter!? In this cookie recipe, you sure can!
This recipe follows the "Quaker Oats - Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie" Recipe...but instead of butter...avocado! and of course, i had to add a little chocolate!
1 c. mashed ripe avocado
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. Quaker Oats (quick or old-fashioned)
1 c. raisins
1/2 c. mini chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350* Beat together avocado and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to avocado/sugar mixture and mix partially. Add oats, raisins and chocolate chips and mix until combined. Spray a cookie sheet. Form dough into shape & size cookie you desire, the cookie will not change much while baking. Wet hands with water to make it easier to work with the dough. Bake 10-12 minutes, turning cookie sheet once during baking. Bake until edges brown slightly. Makes about 4 dozen. They will have a greenish color and let me tell you they are even better the next day.
Store in an airtight container.
