Gluten-Free Vegan Flourless Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Cookies

July 26, 2017 By Karielyn Tillman 2 Comments

Gluten-Free Vegan Flourless Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Cookies | The Healthy Family and Home

These delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Cookies are the perfect bite-size cookie when you need a healthy chocolate treat.

I’ve been making them at least twice a week for the past couple of weeks because they are my husband’s new favorite cookies.  And that’s a big deal because he normally doesn’t go for the healthier versions of the desserts I make.  But these are a winner!

And don’t be afraid because you see the word “avocado” in the title for a dessert ๐Ÿ™‚

They are easily disguised without any avocado flavor coming through and it brings healthy fat into your recipe.

If you haven’t had a chance, you need to try some of my other dessert recipes I’ve made using avocados like my Vegan Flourless Double Chocolate Avocado Brownies or my Creamy Chocolate Pudding or Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Pudding and Brownie Parfait or Raw Vegan Chocolate Pudding Tarts or my Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream with Almond Butter Swirl.

As with most store-bought brands and traditional homemade cookie recipes, they contain ingredients like these:

S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Homemade Cookie Ingredients: Typical Ingredients:  white flour, white sugar, butter, eggs, oil, shortening, etc.

S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Drake’s Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients: Ingredients:  Ingredients:  Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour [Flour, Reduced Iron, B Vitamins (Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate (B1), Riboflavin (B2) Folic Acid)], Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening (Contains One or More of:  Soybean, Cottonseed or Canola Oil), Water, Corn Syrup, Cocoa, Chocolate Liquor.  Contains 2% or Less of: Whey, Whole Eggs, Salt, Leavenings (Baking Soda, Ammonium Phosphate, Aluminum Sulfate), Soy Lecithin, Cocoa Butter, Dextrose, Natural Flavor, Vanillin (Artificial Flavor)

This healthier version is made with clean ingredients and is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, flourless, egg-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.

    THESE WERE AMAZING. I have been desperately finding a way to at least like avocados. The healthy benefits are many but I just never liked the taste or texture. I have been looking for ways to incorporate it into my diet and my last efforts were in the dessert arena–and thats when I landed on your blog. O MmmmmAN am I glad I found this. These cookies are phenomenal. Way better than I expected. Super simple. Healthy–full package. Thank you!

      Hi Aisha! I’m SO glad to hear you enjoyed them! I’m going to be your new best friend because if you liked these cookies, you ~have~ to try my other dessert recipes that use avocados (and you can’t taste the avocado either!):
      1) https://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/lectin-free-vegan-chocolate-avocado-ice-cream-with-almond-butter-swirl/ 2) https://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/lectin-free-vegan-chocolate-avocado-frosting/ 3) https://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/lectin-free-vegan-chocolate-avocado-pistachio-truffles/ 4) https://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/gluten-free-vegan-matcha-avocado-chocolate-truffles/ 5) https://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/vegan-flourless-double-chocolate-avocado-brownies/

      I recently saw someone on Twitter making fun of using avocados in desserts and I thought “why?” and how ridiculous that statement was. They are a healthy fat and you can’t even taste them in the dessert recipes.

      Thanks for trying out the recipe and I hope you find something else good to make! ๐Ÿ™‚
