Sugar-free brownies such as this are not only full of nutrition and health benefits but also look presentable and taste good. They are full of fudgy flavor of chocolate and the goodness of Vitamins K, A, D, and E. This easy keto dessert has a rich chocolaty aroma that is oh so tempting. It is also a flourless brownie with no almonds or nut flours, thus making it a great option if you are sensitive to nuts or trying to avoid them.
What’s more? The keto avocado recipe uses ingredients that are readily available in most home kitchens. The main ones include: avocado, butter, eggs, cocoa powder and keto sweetener.
These keto avocado brownies are a delicious way to surprise kids, welcome friends, or treat guests. They are also a delightful addition to the family and festive dinner tables – extra thanks to that messy, melting chocolaty look.
This recipe is relatively forgiving. As written, I didn’t have great results the first time. Calling for “1 avocado” is pretty vague. My avocados range anywhere from 175g to 215g with good results. I’d probably not use less than 150g, personally. 1/3 cup cacao (not cocoa) powder resulted in a bitter brownie for me. I’ve used as little as 3 tbsp and they came out chocolatey and rich. Added walnuts and baked in mini muffin tins for 15-17 minutes. Hard to eat just one that way, though! Definitely a solid base recipe to play around with. I might add a tbsp or 2 of nut butter next time. Adding a hint of mint extract or even orange extract would be good. Definitely give these a shot!
Would this work with a mixer? I don’t have a food processor (yet). Thank you. I am new to keto and LOVE your channel and site. 🙂
Yes! You can use a mixer or even a blender to mix up the pudding. With the mixer, you just will have to mix longer to get a smooth pudding consistency.
I was wondering how big the baking was for the brownies. Getting ready to try them in a 4 X 6 or a loaf pan. Seems like yours was smaller than an 8 X 8. Can’t wait to try these. Thank you so much.
Yes, it was an 8 x 8 pan. Enjoy the recipe!
that was my exact question i was lookin for an answer to, and your comment was right on top !!! i buy fresh avacados but as soon as i cut into one and not use it all, i chop and freeze the rest. so i need to know Grams of ingredients a lot. that orange extract idea sounds good, i gotta buy some. and a little less than 1/4 cup cacao sounds right also, i was thinking 1/3 cup is huge. so thanks for the answers !!!
This is pure genius!! Made without any flour, easy to make, lowest carb content out of any brownie recipe, super filling and absolutely delicious. I love it so much that yesterday I made it for my non-keto guests. I have substituted the sweetener with regular sugar (some people have digestive issues with sugar alcohols) and the guests loved it!
Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Hi I just made this and it looks delicious. Question: do I need to wait for the brownie to cool down completely to cut into it and consume it? Or can it be eaten warm/hot?
I just put these in the oven. If the batter is any indication of how they will taste… I’m super excited!!! 🙂
Just made these…i had “small” avocados so i added used 1 & 1/2.
i, too, would love at least a guess of the gram weight that you used.
hopefully these turn out because i miss truly fudgy brownies. i did not put the chips on top because i dont need the carbs.
if these bake and taste as good as they smell so far… can i put it on a cookie sheet and spread it really thin for brownie bark (and maybe use melted lily’s peppermint chips for a pretty drizzle?)
thanks for the recipe annie!!!
Can I use coconut oil instead butter?
Yes! You can use coconut oil instead.
Just found this can I use mini muffin tin
I would think that would work too! You will have to adjust the cooking time. I don’t think they will take as long to cook.
I have been playing with this recipe. For volume, split your eggs and peak your egg whites then fold them into the batter. I just added two extra egg whites in addition to the original two and the brownies are amazing! I also use two avocados instead of 1.
