A note from Hannah of Healy Real Food Vegetarian:

Today I’m so pleased to bring you a guest post from Suzanne Perazzini of Strands of My Life. I absolutely love her blog! She has great recipes, beautiful photos and knows the joy of a nice cup of afternoon tea (did you know I’m really into tea, tea parties, cute tea cups and tea pots and anything tea related?). That’s why I was over the moon when I found her book Afternoon Tea which features grain-free, dairy-free, nut-free, refined sugar-free recipes perfect for tea time! (You can buy the ebook version here and the print version here). Today she delivers again with a delicious and healthy avocado cookie recipe! You can find Suzanne blogging at Strands of My Life or on Facebook or Twitter. 

From Suzanne Perazzini of  Strands of My Life:

Most of us know that avocados are fabulous in salads and many will also now be aware of what a great ingredient they are in sweet treats. They have a great consistency which adds to baked or raw cakes and desserts. Combine it with a healthy dose of nuts and seeds, sweetened by honey and you have a wonderful grain, dairy and refined sugar-free treat that the whole family will love.
