Healthier Coconut M&M Cookies

Every year, my school does this thing called "J-Term" (short for January Term) where for the month of January we just take one class. It's pretty cool... If you get a good class. This year, mine was Weight Training and Nutrition. Overall, it wasn't too bad. There wasn't a lot of work, but in some ways that was bad because there was zero structure to the class. But we did learn a little bit about nutrition, so I started looking up different healthy recipes to make. I found a lot of healthy real food, but real food gets kind of boring after a while, you know? 

Eventually I stumbled across these cookies on Imma Eat That and thought they were perfect. And because we had some lovely coconut M&M's sitting around in the pantry just waiting to be used, I made these pretty quickly one day on impulse. Impulse bakes (is that the right word? bakings? baking sessions?) are normally the best bakes, in my experience. And these didn't prove me wrong.

Dark Chocolate Avocado Brownies with Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Frosting

Hear me out. Don't close your browser. I promise these are worth your time. I mean I hope you can trust my brownie judgement, I am a brownie connoisseur. Should I remind you of the PB&J Pretzel Swirl Brownies? Or those Mound Bar Brownies I made? And remember how good Peppermint Hot Chocolate Brownies were? And how mouth-watering-ly good those Marzipan Brownies were?

Do you really think I would lead you astray? I am insulted. Unless you're still reading and are ready to believe what I tell you, no matter how strange. In which case, I am flattered.
