If you’re following a keto diet and craving something sweet, Keto Avocado Brownies are the answer. These rich, fudgy brownies are made without any flour or sugar, making them a perfect keto-friendly dessert. The star ingredient – avocado, adds moisture and a creamy texture while keeping the brownies low in carbs and high in healthy fats. They’re the perfect balance of indulgence and nutrition, satisfying your sweet tooth without compromising your diet.
The beauty of these brownies lies in their simplicity. Avocado replaces the need for traditional butter or oils, providing healthy fats while also giving the brownies a dense, moist texture. The avocado flavor is subtle, allowing the rich chocolate and vanilla flavors to shine. With a good quality cocoa powder and a touch of dark chocolate, the brownies turn out decadently rich and full of deep, chocolatey goodness.
To keep the recipe keto-friendly, a natural sweetener like erythritol or stevia is used in place of sugar. These sweeteners give the brownies the perfect amount of sweetness without raising blood sugar levels, making them ideal for anyone on a low-carb, ketogenic, or diabetic-friendly diet. A pinch of sea salt enhances the sweetness and deepens the chocolate flavor.
The brownies are easy to make, simply blend the avocado with the sweetener, cocoa powder, eggs, and a little baking soda. Pour the batter into a baking pan, and bake until they’re just set in the middle. The result is a dense, fudgy brownie that’s moist on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
Keto Avocado Brownies are perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without derailing your diet. They’re full of healthy fats, low in carbs, and taste just as indulgent as traditional brownies. Whether you’re on a keto journey or just looking for a healthier dessert option, these brownies are a delicious, guilt-free treat that everyone will enjoy.

Super easy recipe! I love how healthy they are too. Can’t believe it’s keto-friendly! Yummy!
Meh, not great. The texture was weird and they didn’t taste chocolatey enough for me.
Um, can someone explain what erythritol is? Sounds like a science project instead of dessert. LOL
I don’t like almond flour. Can I use regular flour instead? I really want to try these.
I think regular flour won’t be good for keto though… Maybe just try it with almond flour? Just a thought.
Yes, you can use regular flour! They might turn out a bit different but it should still work.
Why do you put eggs in brownies? I thought they were vegan.
I followed the recipe step by step and they came out dry. Not a fan. 🙁
I don’t get it, why are we using avocados? Brownies should not be green lol.
Green brownies??! That’s just wrong! Brownies are supposed to be chocolatey and dark! I’m skeptical about this.
I thought the same way at first! But trust me, avocados actually make them super moist and delicious. You won’t even taste them! 😋
I think I put too much cocoa powder? They tasted bitter.
Yeah, cocoa can be really strong! Next time try using less, like a 1/4 cup maybe? It’ll balance the sweetness better.
Delicious! Even my kids liked them and they hate avocado. 😂
Were they better than regular brownies? No way! But I guess it’s a healthier choice.
I totally disagree! I think these brownies are just as good, if not better. Avocado makes everything creamier!
Why would you put avocados in brownies? That’s just weird. I’m sticking to the regular recipe! 😩
I tried making these and I messed it up! I used too much cocoa and had to add sugar. Still, they tasted okay.
Don’t worry, it happens! I’ve added too much cocoa before too. Just adjust as you go, and just taste test. At least they tasted okay!
Keto or not, brownies should have flour and sugar. Not for me! No offense!
Yum! Just made them, my friends loved them too! #KetoWin
These brownies are amazing! I was skeptical at first, but they turned out so rich and delicious. Totally recommend! 💚
Best brownies I ever made! And my kids didn’t even notice the difference! Will bake it again!
OMG these were amazing! I can’t believe they’re healthy too! Will definitely make again.
So simple to make, I love it. Good for my diet journey!
Just okay for me. The texture was kinda off, I guess. I prefer a flour-based brownie.
I get what you mean! These brownies are definitely different. Maybe try adding some more cocoa next time?
This recipe is a lifesaver! I’m on keto and was missing desserts. These hit the spot!
