Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup mashed ripe California avocado (about 1, 125 mL)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (125 mL)
lightly packed brown sugar and granulated sugar (125 mL)
1 egg
2 cups large flake oats (500 mL)
1 cup all-purpose flour (250 mL)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (10 mL)
ground nutmeg and salt (2 mL)
baking soda and baking powder (2 mL)
1/2 cup peeled and very finely diced california pear (125 mL)
1/2 cup california raisins (Thompson or Sultana, 125 mL)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat avocado with butter and sugars until fluffy; beat in egg. Meanwhile, stir oats with flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda and baking powder; add to avocado mixture, stirring until well combined. Stir in pear and raisins.
  • Arrange oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake batches, rotating pans once, for 20 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned all over. Transfer cookies directly to a rack to cool completely. Makes about 30 cookies.
  • Tip: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days or in the freezer for up to one month.
