Ingredients for Paleo Avocado Brownies
- Avocado – To make sure his brownies taste incredible, choose a ripe avocado that’s super creamy.
- Eggs – Large eggs are needed to bind all the ingredients. If you’re allergic to eggs, replace them with chia egg or flax eggs to make the best vegan avocado brownies.
- Cocoa powder – using high-quality cocoa powder is mandatory for these brownies to taste as rich as possible.
- Almond flour – To replace classic white flour, replace it with blanched superfine almond flour. The uninquie qualitues of almond flour make it unreplaceable in this recipe, so if you want to use a different keto flour, you may have to adjust the entire recipe.
- Sweetener – depending on the lifestyle you’re following, use an appropriate sweetener such as Erythritol, Monkfruit, Allulose, or Coconut Sugar(not low carb!).
- Coconut oil – If you’re not a fan of coconut taste, use refined coconut oil because it has zero coconut taste. You can also use softened unsalted butter.
- Dark chocolate– There are many brands of chocolate that have keto ingredients and are sugar-free. When choosing a low carb chocolate, make sure the percentage of cocoa is above 80%.

Tips for the Best Keto Avocado Brownies?
- Make sure your avocados are ripe and creamy. You’ll need 1 1/2 cup of avocado or about two medium-large fruits.
- Use a high-quality vanilla extract – I love to use this brand because it gives such a pleasant vanilla taste.
- Use enough cacao powder to avoid the brownies taste eggy.
- The avocado brownie batter should have a thicker consistency than regular brownie batter. Please watch the video to see exactly how it should look.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste – Depending on the chocolate you’re using these healthy brownies may have a different level of sweetness. I love them to be not super sweet. Keep in mind that altering the amount of sweetener can change the consistency of the end product.
- Any granulated sweetener works I recommend using some erythritol blend and do not use STEVIA extract because when baked it tends to become very bitter. If you are following a paleo diet, you can use coconut sugar.
Most of the time I share all the recipes I make with my family and ask for honest opinions. So this time, after dinner I gave each a keto brownie to taste and asked what they think. They devoured the entire batch without knowing there were avocados in the brownies and asked for more.

1 cup dark chocolate unsweetened
Is that SOLID chocolate? If so, how many GRAMS?
I used 90 grams of 100% dark chocolate. Any chocolate with 85% or more cocoa will work to make these avocado brownies.
Hello! Made these brownies according to your recipe and they came out looking pretty similar! For my preference, if I were to make this again I would probably use 75% chocolate so it was a bit sweeter. With the known drier texture of almond flour they tasted great with some whipped cream!

Should the swerve sweetener also be subtracted from the total carbs to get a more accurate net carb count? I haven’t made these yet, I’m waiting on a few ingredients to arrive ❤️
Yes, subtract the sugar alcohols and fiber to get net carbs 🙂
