These look and sound delicious! Can I substitute something for the coconut or just leave it out? I am not a huge fan of it. Thank you in advance!!
You can just omit the coconut flakes. 🙂
Is there substitute for eggs ?
Google “flax egg” and try that. It’s an egg substitute. We haven’t made this recipe using that, so I can’t personally guarantee outcome, but it’s worth a try!
Looks amazing-quick question—not a fan at all of coconut. If I leave it out will it be an issue with the consistency of the cookie?
Thank you!!
You can just omit the coconut flakes. 🙂
Hi, guys!
If I were to sub the erythritol with allulose, would I use the same amount?

what can you use as a substitute for the shredded coconut?
You can just omit the coconut flakes. 🙂
This sounds delicious but is there a substitute or can I leave out the coconut?
You can just omit the coconut flakes. 🙂
How many avocados is 100g?
A normal avocado is approximately 200g.
Hi! If a normal avacado is about 200 grams then why did she use a whole avacado and like a fourth of another? Is a normal 200 gram avacado small or medium or large? I would really appreciate if you could explain
How long do they keep fresh and must they be refrigerated? Could o freeze them?
We’ve kept them in the fridge up to seven days and they’ve still remained fresh. They might do well with freezing – you’ll have to give it a try!
I will be making these ASAP, they look delicious!
And please keep posting low calorie recipes! When I see “fat bomb” recipes I have to just keep on scrollin’…..Some of us short people can’t calorically afford to eat 500 calorie desserts without skipping two meals for it. ?
These came out great!! Smaller than expected-but perfect amount. I used a whole Avocado (because I was lazy…lol and not sure how many ounces 100gms was)Thanks Megha!! ?
Is the coconut an integral part of the cookie structure or can I omit it? I loathe coconut! I will definitely try this though and throw some nuts in it for sure. Probably not macadamia nuts because I don’t have any on hand. Sorry Matt…
You can just omit the coconut flakes. Adding your choice of nuts sounds great!
The picture looks like you’ve got chocolate chips in them yet I dont that listed in the ingredients list.
Step 6 explains that topping them with chips or bakers chocolate is optional – note that this will alter the nutrition of the recipe.
Is there a substitute for erythritol?
You can use whatever sugar substitute you want. You can check out our “Best Sugar Substitute” article and our Low Carb Sweetener Conversion Guide.
I just made these and subbed all the sweeteners for 1/3 cup of Swerve (granular) and it is amazing! Not too sweet, but not missing sweetness either.
Thanks for the sweetener sub suggestion. I’ve found that the liquid stevia leaves me with a bitter taste.
Swerve is what I used
They were yummy. Kinda soft but I used a whole avocado which came to 123 grams. As long as husband ate them, it’s allll good!
Yum! Just made them. Not overly sweet but sure get the chocolate fix and with only 2 net carbs per cookies I can have a few a day if I want 😀
How many cookies per serving?
Also Megah have u tried avocado ice cream ? It’s really good!
This recipe makes 9 total servings/cookies. The nutrition information listed is per serving which is 1 cookie. Thanks!
The nutrition label states one cookie per serving, but at the top of recipe it says 2 cookies per serving. Please clarify. These are great!
It looks like a 2, but it is in fact a 9 – this recipe makes 9 cookies and the nutrition is for 1 cookie.
Hi I love this recipe, but I’m having trouble removing the cookies from the pan? They break apart. I am letting them cool about 10 minutes before touching. Thanks!
I would use parchment paper to have less sticking to the pan, and let the cool another 5 minutes and see if that helps.
Thanks for much for this Avocado Fudge Cookie recipe! I love making desserts with avocado and I can’t wait to try them! Keep Rockin! Karen from San Antonio, TX
I’m excited to try this! Thanks, Megha ☺️
The issue I have with this, I’d eat them all and still end up going over the carb limit lol
Well done…. It is important on the journey to know what our boundaries are..
Oh my goodness! I can’t wait to make these for the kiddo’s lunch! (And Mommy’s tummy.. wink wink nudge nudge) Thank you!!
What can you use instead of coconut flakes? I’m not a fan of coconut.
You can just omit the coconut flakes. 🙂
Best Keto cookies I’ve made so far. THE BEST and very chocolatey, lol. I omitted the coconut because I didn’t have any but next time I’ll try it with them. I added walnuts as well.
i’ve also made them with finely chopped walnuts, they were great.
