Ingredients
1/3 cup ripe mashed avocado (no dark spots)
1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter
1/3 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees or 180C. Line a cookie sheet with lightly oiled parchment paper. Set aside.
- Be sure to measure the avocado and banana to achieve a rich flavor.
- In a food processor, using an S blade attachment, add the mashed banana and avocado, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.*
- Process the ingredients on high speed until the batter becomes sticky. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
- Remove the blade from the food processor and stir the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Scoop out approximately 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the batter on to the prepared cookie sheet for each cookie. Use a wet spoon to gently flatten the cookie.
- Add additional chocolate chips to the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the cookie is dry on top and sides.
- Be sure to cool the cookies for 10 minutes before enjoying them.

Notes
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later.
- Placing the cookies in the fridge for an hour helps them set and achieve their rich, velvet texture.
- Feel free to add nuts of your choosing.
- You may add some additional sugar to the mixture if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Add the amount of your choosing. I suggest 1/4 cup or less. I suggest coconut or date sugar.
- You may add about a 1/2 cup of almond flour for a less fudgy cookie.
