Ingredients:
For the pudding:
* 2 ripe medium avocados (about 300 g)
* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (100 g)
* 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 cup maple syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener
* 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water if you prefer a thicker consistency)
* Pinch of salt
For the cookie crumb topping:
* 1/4 cup rolled oats
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup
* 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* A few pinches of sea salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the cookie crumb topping:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the oats, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Stir occasionally as you spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 2: Bake the cookie crumb topping:
Bake the cookie crumb topping for about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 3: Prepare the chocolate avocado pudding base:
In a high-speed blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and almond milk. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary.
Step 4: Pour the pudding into serving glasses or bowls:
Divide the pudding evenly among four small glasses or bowls. If desired, you can also pour the entire mixture into one large bowl for a non-individual serving.
Step 5: Top each serving with the cookie crumb topping:
Sprinkle the top of each serving with the reserved cookie crumb topping. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to two days. Enjoy!
Difficulty Level: Easy
