Ingredients
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup avocado pulp, very ripe
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
• 3 cups oats
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

Peaches and pecans; rum and raisin; pineapple, coconut and macadamias; cranberries and orange.
