Goodness gracious, I feel like I’m getting old.
Friday was my little brother’s high school graduation. But in my mind, I still see him as 12 years old. Which doesn’t actually make too much sense as he’s now a foot taller than me
So just in name of reliving childhood a bit, Ive got a chocolate chip cookie recipe to share! Ok, so there’s avocado in it. But come on, coming from me, what else do you expect?
IMPORTANT TIP WHEN MAKING THESE: I don’t know if it’s just me, but baked avocados kinda have a weird taste. Luckily, I’ve learned the secret to using them in a baked good: Wait a few hours (or preferably the next day) before digging in! Not only does all traces of avocado disappear, but the baked good gets a super rich taste and the avocado prevents the cookies from getting hard/stale! I recommend making these at night to have the next day, or in the morning to have later that night.

Lovely this recipe Deanna and with avocados really cheap right now in Australia maybe it’s time for me to venture beyond using them for guacamole!

Thank you! And yes! It’s definitely worth trying out in different recipes- avocados make a filling base for a lot of the foods I make! Happy experimenting 🙂

I really want to make these. I was wondering what I could substitute the tapioca flour for? Also, if you have Instagram is love to follow you. Mine is graceturner89

Hi! Unfortunately I do not have an Instagram account, but I’ll definitely keep an eye out for your blog posts! As for the tapioca flour, I would think that you could use arrowroot flour instead, if you have that on hand. If not, I know I used to make this recipe with oat flour (ground-up oats) instead of the tapioca… I don’t remember the amount however. I’m going to be making this recipe again soon, so I’ll make it with oats and report back!

Cool, I can get my hands on some oat flour (unfortunately, Japan is behind behind behind the times on gf things)! I’ll let you know how it all goes down! 🙂

Please do! Good luck! 🙂
