You’ll love these fudgy keto avocado brownies! These aren’t just regular old brownies, though, this avocado brownie recipe is made with nutritious ingredients like almond flour, eggs, and avocado. Make these avocado chocolate brownies in just 10 minutes prep. If you’re a little hesitant to eat keto brownies with avocado, you aren’t alone! And if you really just want an original brownie recipe, try out my fudgy keto brownies, or a keto mug brownie for a quick option. Or, try my keto blondies or healthy zucchini brownies for a different twist.
But. Trust me when I say that you’ll want to try them. Using avocado creates a super rich, fudgy texture. At the same time, the cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate are powerful enough to mask its flavor.
No one will know there’s smashed avocado in these brownies. All you can taste is the chocolate! And while this is a great way to use up fresh avocados that will spoil soon, you can also use frozen avocados to make these.
This avocado brownie recipe is made with Besti Monk Fruit Sweetener Allulose Blend and Wholesome Yum Almond Flour for the best version of both flavor, taste, and texture.
As you might know by now, Besti is the best sweetener for moist baked goods, and it’s ideal for a smooth, fudgy texture in brownies. Try these out and taste the difference compared to other keto sweeteners.
And just as important, the almond flour we are using is super finely ground, for the best avocado brownie texture. No grittiness here!
This recipe for avocado brownies was originally published on October 30, 2017, and the post was republished in March 2021 to add updated pictures, useful tips, and some method improvements.
How To Make Avocado Brownies
This keto avocado brownie recipe is easy to make:
- Melt butter and chocolate. Use a double boiler to melt on the stove. Cool slightly.
- Blend wet ingredients. Place avocado, eggs, and vanilla into a high-power blender and blend until smooth. Add melted butter and chocolate, and blend again until smooth.
TIP: You can also use a food processor for this step.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together almond flour, cocoa powder, and Besti.
- Pulse. Add the wet ingredients to the blender and stir in with spatula. Pulse a few times to combine, but don’t overmix.
- Transfer. Spread batter into parchment lined baking dish (this is the best size for this recipe!) and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake. Bake until brownies are just barely set and no longer wet, but still moist. Cool completely before cutting.
TIP: Don’t overcook! Take the brownies out of the oven when they are just barely set, and still very, very soft. If you insert a toothpick, it should come out with a tiny amount of brownie batter on it that you can roll into a ball between your fingers. If you wait until the toothpick comes out clean, they will be too dry!
If you like frosted brownies, these are delicious with sugar-free chocolate frosting over them!
Avocado Brownie Recipe FAQs
How many carbs in keto avocado brownies?
This recipe for avocado brownies has just 1.2 grams net carbs per serving. The full nutrition stats are below.
The carbs in avocado brownies will vary based on what recipe and ingredients are used. This recipe uses natural sugar-free sweetener and healthy almond flour, which keeps the carbs down and nutrition up.
Are avocado brownies keto?
Some avocado brownies are keto (like this one), but others are not as they are sweetened with sugar and made with flour.
This keto brownie with avocado recipe combines a low carb brownie with the nutritious boost of avocado.
Can I use a different sweetener?
I recommend Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend for this recipe, as it not only tastes like sugar but also dissolves well, making a smooth, fudgy brownie. You could also use allulose – use 33% more sweetener if you do, as it’s less sweet.
I don’t recommend erythritol or other brands of keto sweeteners, as these tend to create a gritty texture in brownies. Even when they don’t, they crystallize within a day or two – not good if you don’t eat them all in one sitting!
Can I omit the butter?
For the best taste, you really need a blend of both avocado and butter in there. You can buy grass-fed butter for maximum benefits, but please don’t skip it. Believe me, I’ve tried!
If you need a dairy-free alternative to the butter, I recommend butter flavored coconut oil as a substitute.
Storage Instructions
Can you make them ahead?
Yes, these easy avocado brownies can be made a few days in advance. They’ll last for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
Can you freeze avocado chocolate brownies?
Yes, avocado and chocolate brownies can be frozen for 2-3 months. Cut into individual servings and wrap in plastic wrap for best results.

Instructions

-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Line a 8x8 in (20x20 cm) glass baking dish with foil or parchment paper and grease lightly. Clip the edges of the liner to the pan with plastic clips. (This is temporary. They don't need to be oven safe.) Set aside.
-
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler on the stove. (Boil water in a pot, place the butter and chocolate into a heat proof bowl, and place on top of the pot. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.) Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. (You can also do this in the microwave if you prefer. Be careful not to burn it.)
-
Place the avocado, eggs, and vanilla in a high-power blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Add the melted butter/chocolate mixture and puree again.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Add the dry ingredients to the blender or food processor and stir in with a spatula. Pulse a few times until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed. (Don't overmix.)
-
Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. It will be thick, so the clips on the parchment or foil will help. Smooth the top with a spatula. Remove the clips.
-
Bake about 20-30 minutes, until brownies are barely set. The top should no longer be wet, but still be very soft. An inserted toothpick will come out with just a small amount of batter on it. Cool completely to firm up before cutting.

Aleah
0What can I substitute for the avocado
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Aleah, They are avocado brownies, so they don’t have a substitute in this recipe. If you don’t want to use avocado, make my regular keto brownies instead.
Heather Barber
0I have to substitute coconut flour for almond flour, so I used 2 tablespoons coconut flour. They turned out beautiful! I added sugar free keto chocolate frosting. Very lush and rich🙃
April
0I have a question. We have in our stores in TX small and Jumbo/LG sizes of avocado. What is the approximate weight of a medium avocado? Google says the flesh of a medium avocado weights 145 g. Could you add it to the recipe in parenthesis? Looks like a simple recipe. Can’t wait to try them.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi April, The weight of a medium avocado should be 10-12 oz.
Patti
0This one’s a keeper! New to keto community and food ingredients. Thankfully simple. As the only person on earth without a food processor, I tried it in my Nutribullet and it’s just too thick, you lose too much product in the blades and bottom of the blender. Next time I will try with hand mixer. But the taste is pure chocolate, creamy and fudgy as promised. Love these!
Mary Gibson
0Oh yes! I made these and I will now make them again and again. I doubled the recipe and because I don’t like avocados I only put in one instead of two but oh my! – they are absolutely delicious!! There was no avocado taste whatsoever. Try them – if you like chocolate you will love them.
Connie
0I made these brownies today and they were amazing!!! They were a big hit with everyone!!! Next time I may add nuts!
VIRGINIA
0This sounds so good, I love to make it. But I am allergic to almonds. Is it possible to use Coconut flour?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Virginia, I suggest using my coconut flour brownie recipe.
Lori
0I made this recipe. The brownies were fantastic! Thank you!
James
0Amazing. Haven’t baked for so many years. Easy to follow and it tastes delicious. Thank you.
Mini
0Can I bake the avocado brownies at 275 or 300?
I’ve made several of your recipes. They always turned out great for me. Thank you for sharing your creations with the world.. You’re truly talented!
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Mini, This recipe is baked at 325 degrees F.
Jill
0Can I use another flour I can’t use almonds due to allergy? Thank.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Jill, Macadamia nut or sunflower flour are alternatives for almond flour.
Linda Smith
0These brownies are delicious… I’ve never used avocado in a dessert before so was a little skeptical, but they’re so good!
Char
0Hi there, I use Earths own soy free vegan butter that has some salt in it. Is that ok?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Char, Yes, that is ok.
Char
0Thank you!
Veronique
0I made this today and they are WOW. I used coconut oil instead of butter, 2 small avocados instead of a medium one and xylitol instead of monk fruit/allulose blend, I baked them 45 min and they turned out perfect.
Cheryl
0I hate this website. There are so many ads that it takes forever to get to the recipe and you can only view a very small portion of the screen, again because of all the ads. And don’t get me started on the pop-ups! I’m sure there is good content here, just too much trouble trying to read.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Cheryl, Thanks for your feedback. Ads keep the Wholesome Yum website running and allow me to develop recipes that readers like you can access absolutely free. However, you may be interested in Wholesome Yum Plus, which includes an ad-free version of the website, along with other perks.
Michelle Ehlers
0I signed up for the plus version and recommend it! These recipes are better than any of the others I’ve tried online.
Vicki
0I use Now brand stevia extract. How would the substitution ratio be for that? Really want to try it. Looks wonderful.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Vicki, If your sweetener is a liquid I would not recommend using that in this recipe.
Michele
0Who knew?! So YUM!! I also make your marshmallows. I add one to the top of a brownie and nuke it for like 4 seconds just so the marshmallow starts to melt but not separate 🤤
Sury
0Hi. Is the sweetener used in this recipe kosher? I would like to know which kosher sweetener would be the best substitute in you sweet recipes like desserts and baked goods. Thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Suri, Yes, Besti sweetener is kosher. We are working on the certification process, but have verified that it does qualify.
Marilyn van Gastel
0I made these a couple of days ago and they are amazing 🤩. They have a great consistency, look and taste unbelievable. Recipes like yours make it possible to transform my diet and lifestyle. Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing these delicious recipes to us 🎉💯❤️
Kay C Oxford
0In the recipe it says a glass pan, but in your video it says a metal one….???
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Kay, Either is fine as long as you line it. I used to make it in glass but now prefer metal for the reasons described in the video. Both will work, just keep in mind the cook time will vary a bit depending on the kind you use.
Katie Bartnett
0Can you make these with coconut flour instead of Almond flour? Almond allergy here.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Katie, No, coconut flour and almond flour are not interchangeable. Try this coconut flour brownie recipe.
Dee
0These are amazing! I was worried about eating the whole plate of brownies myself. Not even a worry now cause my kids are “helping” me eat them. Nonketo people will not know these are keto! I followed the recipe as is no changes.
Debi
0These are hands down the BEST chocolate keto dessert I’ve ever made and I’ve made soooooo many! They are rich and so freaking gooey! My daughter came home from school and I gave her a bite and her eyes grew huge with delight and amazement. She could not believe that they were sugar free and made with avocado. They are so rich that just a little satisfies your craving. These are a must try!
Wendy McKenzie
0I didn’t have the choc chips to melt so I put in an extra 1/4 cup of cocoa and these came out so rich and moist. I’ve tried many brownie recipes that are pretty good but this is the best by far. Then, I thought I’d try to see if I could make this a peanut butter brownie. I replaced all cocoa with 1/2 cup of peanut butter (low sugar Jiff Natural creamy) and only had cashew flour and it turned out so good!! Almost like peanut butter fudge it reminded me of. Next one I’ll try the no sugar natural peanut butter (my stores have been out of it) and I’m sure that will be just as good, probably more dense. I can’t believe how much an avocado makes so much difference in a recipe and easily gets masked by other flavors. Thank you for the recipe!!
Sue Kemp
0These are so good!!
I’m new here but so far all of your recipes I’ve tried are just as good.
Thank You for helping beginners get started on this keto life style.
ANNE
0It’s almost too decadent!
Sharon
0These were rich, moist and yummy! Thank you for a great recipe!
Tanya
0So thankful I found Wholesome Yum! I’ve made these brownies and they’re terrific! Very moist, super chocolatey tasting and you can’t tell they contain avocados. Definitely a 5/5!
Cora
0By far the best keto dessert I have ever made! I used 3/4 cup of a monkfruit/eryithrol blend I had on hand and the sweetness level was perfect!
Sharon Oleinik
0I love seeing Keto and Low Carb options for delicious meals, appetizers and desserts! These brownies look scrumptious! Unfortunately, I am horribly allergic to almonds, so no almond flour for me… Is there another, similar, nut flour that can be used to give similar results?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sharon, You may be interested in trying this recipe for Paleo Low Carb Brownies. It doesn’t contain almond flour. The almond butter in the recipe can be substituted with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter. Enjoy!
Bren
0This recipe was amazing! I love how intense the chocolate flavor is. And it is very easy to make! Maya, you did it again!
sylvie
0So delicious, I actually made the squares smaller ( I ended up with 32 squares). I feel they are the perfect size when I want something sweet. Thank you!
Loreto and Nicoletta Nardelli
0Oh yes, avocado creates the fudgiest, richest texture! These brownies are scrumptious, and made with great ingredients!
Mama Maggie's Kitchen
0My mouth is watering. I have to make this tonight! My husband will surely love a plate of this, too.
Amanda Dixon
0These brownies are so good! The avocado really made them perfectly fudgy, which is how I like my brownies. I’ll definitely make these again!
Silvia
0These chocolate avocado brownies were a revelation. So moist and so yummy. And well, we eat anything with avocado in it, even desserts. 🙂
Leslie
0I love your keto recipes!! You can tell how fudge these brownies are just by the pictures!! Gotta try this one this week!
Erin
0I love these brownies! I get the chocolate I love but also the healthy fats from the avocados. Win, win!
sophie
0These look so good! Totally making them with the kids after school today!
Christina
0These are so good. I am not a fan of avocado so I was a little frightened but to my suprise, they are delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Scarlet
0I love to try new things and monk fruit was completely new to me! These avocado brownies came out so well. Thanks for a delicious new treat to enjoy.
H.L.M
0What a great Keto recipe! My best friend has been following Keto, so we whipped up a batch, and now I am obsessed! I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes! Have a great week!
Julia
0Yum! These were so good and we couldn’t taste the avocado at all. Love having this healthier option.
Kristyn
0I have found my new way to make brownies!! Healthier, but still so good! They just melt in your mouth!
HEATHER PERINE
0Making avocado brownies have been on my must bake list for awhile now and I’m so glad I finally tried because OMG delish!!
