Keto Avocado Brownies – Sugar-free and Gluten-Free
I am calling all the low-carb desserts lovers to come and this avocado brownies recipe! Obviously, you want to know how does these keto brownies taste, right? First, let me tell you something: baked avocado has no flavor.
As a result, these avocado brownies have no avocado taste at all. You won’t believe it, but avocados make the best fudgy brownies on earth!
Is avocado keto-friendly?
Avocado has only 3.5 grams of net carbs per 100 grams and 15 grams of healthy unsaturated fat. Without a doubt, this makes this recipe the best keto avocado brownies!
Avocado is an incredibly creamy ingredient to add fudgy texture to brownies. You don’t want to miss that, this is even better than butter.
A healthy brownie recipe with less than 10 ingredients
On top of its amazing fudgy texture, this healthy avocado brownies recipe is easy to make in a blender. The order of ingredients doesn’t matter, add everything in your blender and you will get a lovely avocado brownie batter in 2 minutes. Because who loves waiting to eat a brownie, right? Along with its simplicity, this avocado brownie recipe is made of less than 10 wholesome ingredients including :
- Unsweetened dark chocolate – sugar-free stevia-sweetened chocolate baking bars (or chips) or 85% cocoa chocolate.
- Extra virgin coconut oil – or any vegetable oil you prefer, butter works as well.
- Almond meal or almond flour – both options work.
- Ripe avocado – avocado is a keto-friendly vegetable that adds fudgy texture to this brownie. Of course, you must use ripe avocado to succeed in this recipe to avoid lumps. My tip for ripening an avocado fast is to store it near a banana, at room temperature. The ethylene that bananas release will ripe the avocado faster. Obviously bananas are not keto-friendly, but they are useful to ripen avocados naturally.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar-free crystal sweetener – Monk fruit crystal or erythritol is perfect. For other keto-friendly sweeteners, read my sweetener guide!

- In a small saucepan, add the dark chocolate bites and coconut oil. Bring to medium heat until fully melted. You can also place both ingredients into a bowl and microwave on high in 30-second bursts until fully melted. Set aside.

Hi, I have some frozen avocado slices that were covered in lemon juice, could I thaw them and use them in this? Would the texture or the small amount of lemon juice be a problem?
never baked with frozen avocado before so I am not sure how it will work. Let me know if you try! But I don’t think the lemon juice will be a problem
Love these brownies , my 7 year old hates cakes but these were a massive hit !
Will definitely be making them again . Thanks for the recipe.
Amazing! My blender wasn’t up to the task so had to mix by hand but kids had no idea this was a healthy brownie was healthy! The perfect crime lol
Really delicious thank you
Just made them tonight and they were delicious!!! 1 small brownie satisfied my sweet tooth. Thanks for the amazing recipe!!!
Are you sure you only use 1/2 cup almond flour? This doesn’t seem like it will make 16 brownies.
Absolutely ! triple tested, that all you need. Enjoy!
Hello, may i use coconut flour instead. How much should i add in?
Not really, it will be way too dry
Quick question, can I use gluten free flour instead of almond ? I have someone with an almond allergy, thanks!
Gluten free flour mix are not keto so I have no experience baking my recipes with them. Feel free to experiment and see how it goes!
Ok thank you! What about oat flour?
It will work but oat is high in carbs and it’s not keto approved
Thank you for confirming this- I made them last weekend and they were amazing. My husband loved them- I’m making them again today 🙂
My pleasure! Enjoy the brownies, XOXO Carine
I’ve been making a range of your cakes since changing to a keto diet and they’ve all been tasty and by far the best keto cake recipes around. My husband has a nut allergy though so I have to substitute coconut flour for almond flour. Do you have advise in relation to the quantity of coconut flour to use instead of almond. It’s so much more absorbent so it’s always a little trial and error for me… planning to make the brownies today 🙂
I am so happy to have you here! Coconut flour is 4 times more absorbent than almond flour so usually you may need 4 times more. It means if the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of coconut flour you should need about 4 tablespoons almond flour. Adding a touch of xanthan gum like 1/4-1/2 teaspoon to the batter (sprinkle it at the end into the batter) this help adding texture to the cake/brownie as almond flour will never add the same texture as coconut flour. I hope it helps. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Hi! SO many raving reviews. would love to try them! do you know what would be the sub for eggs? for a vegan option. thanks!
This recipe won’t work with egg substitute because keto flours are so low in carbs and doesn’t contains starch so they never form a cake or brownie if combined with egg replacer. Only some keto cookies recipes can work with egg replacer. If I don’t provide an option egg-free its because this won’t work. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
I’ve been looking and trying out so many different recipes to try and indulge my sweet tooth, but nothing I’d tried had a good flavour and texture. Until now! These brownies are soooooo good!!
Can you use Ghee or butter instead of coconut oil? My husband hates the taste of coconut. If so is it the same amount?
Sure, it will work very well too, same amount. However, note that refined coconut oil has no coconut flavor ! Its the unrefined coconut oil that taste like coconut. Enjoy the recipe, XOXO Carine
Can you use Ghee or butter instead of coconut oil? My husband hates the taste of coconut.
Hi Carine! I do not have monkfruit/any other kind of sweetener and was wondering if I could replace with a sugar-free maple syrup instead? Thanks!
It will probably work with same amount of sugar free maple syrup yes. The batter will be slightly runnier tho. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Awesome brownies so moist and taste like heaven ❤️
Best keto brownies! I normally don’t eat avocado, but these are amazing. You don’t taste the avocado and these are even beter than normal brownies. I added walnuts and pecan nuts in the mixture.
Thank you !
I just started my journey trying to find sugarless desserts.
Tried these this eve, used coconut on top instead of nuts. They turned out amazing! Thank you very much.
Congratulation ! I am glad you find my blog to help you start your sugar free journey. Here you will find lots of safe treats and baking recipes to help you. Thanks for trying the brownie, I am SO happy you love it too! The coconut on top looks delicious, nothing can beat coconut and chocolate! XOXO Carine.
Hi,
Thanks a-lot for this amazing brownie.
I think the net carb is less that 2grams
Thank you so much for this lovely message ! even better if there is less carb. Enjoy the keto recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine.
Can these be frozen? I’m the only one who will be eating them. Too much for one person to eat up in 4 days! Lol
I made these yesterday. Not too bad at all for someone like me who is cutting down on sugar and carbs.
Sure! freeze in an airtight container and defrost the day before. Enjoy ! XOXO Carine.
This recipe was easy peasy and is the best low carb brownie I have EVER made or had before. Only sub I made was xylitol as it was all I had on hand. Thank you.????
I am so happy to read that! I love to create tasty easy low carb recipes and I am glad you found my blog. Xylitol is a great sugar-free sweetener to replace erythritol. It should not change the brownies flavor or texture. Thanks for your comment. Enjoy the blog recipes. XOXO Carine.
I love your recipes ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for following me and trying my recipes. XOXO Carine.
