25 Easy Avocado Recipes for Ketogenic Baking
Amp up your ketogenic baking with these delicious avocado recipes!
Adding avocados to your diet will improve its overall quality, and possibly reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
However, some people do not like the subtle flavor or soft texture of avocados. That’s where these yummy Ketogenic avocado baking recipes come in handy!
When you’re choosing avocados to use in your baking be sure to use ripe ones. Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Jessica Fishman Levinson, RDN says, “Avocados usually turn from light green to dark green to black when ripening, but some varieties don’t change color, so you can’t rely on color alone to determine if the fruit is ripe. Instead, gently squeeze the avocado in the palm of your hand to check for ripeness. Ripe, ready-to-eat fruit will be firm yet yield to gentle pressure.”
Whether you’d like to make a Keto dessert or snack, you’ll find plenty of options on this list. Naturally, everything is low-carb – but you’ll also find dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free and vegan recipes. Truly something for everyone!

Ultimate Keto Chocolate Brownies (Contains Dairy)
– KetoDiet Blog
Ingredients: unsweetened dark chocolate, butter, ghee or extra virgin coconut oil, eggs, avocado, coconut milk or heavy whipping cream, Stevia extract, almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, powdered Erythritol or Swerve, gluten-free baking powder, sea salt.
The brownies in this keto recipe are quite thick, so I would suggest cutting them into smaller pieces, but they are so good that you could just treat yourself and go for it! If you can leave them to cool, which can be difficult as they smell amazing, then they won’t be crumbly. If you like toppings on your brownies, then dust them with cocoa powder or cinnamon for an extra hit of flavor.

Here is another low carb recipe that uses avocado to increase the fudgy quality of the brownies, but don’t worry, you can’t taste the avocado! These have a firm crust and a soft and indulgently rich center. You can top these with extra chocolate chips if you want to increase the chocolate flavor. Store in an airtight container but not in the fridge as this makes them go hard.

Chocolate Avocado Zucchini Muffins
– Jane’s Healthy Kitchen

Zucchini in baked goods works along the same lines as avocado to give a rich and creamy texture and bind the other ingredients together. The flavor of the vegetables does not feature strongly in the muffins as it is masked by the chocolate, so this would be a sneaky way to get the family eating more veggies! These taste best warm, straight from the oven.
