If you have avocados that are about to go bad, don’t toss them out! Instead, use them to make these delectable and super easy low-carb cookies.
These keto avocado chocolate cookies are everything!
I know it may sound crazy, but using avocado when making keto cookies (or brownies) makes them taste 10x’s better, and you’ll never be able to tell they are the secret ingredient!
Inspired by a classic!
A while back Collin visited the amazing Miraval Resort in Austin, Texas, and instantly fell in love with their delicious chocolate avocado cookies. These cookies are a signature item from Miraval and the recipe is popular on the internet. In true Hip2Keto fashion, we’ve adapted their recipe and switched out some of the ingredients to make them oh so keto-friendly.
Don’t judge a book by its cover!
Now, I know what you may be thinking, these keto avocado chocolate cookies may not be the prettiest cookies you’ve ever seem, but oh boy they sure make up for it with their rich, chocolatey taste. One bite and you’ll be in chocolate heaven. I dare you to try to eat just one!
Hip tips for making the best keto avocado chocolate cookies:
-
- Make sure your avocados are very ripe. In fact, it’s totally okay if they’re even a little brown on the inside.
-
- I only used 1/2 cup of Lakanto golden monk fruit sweetener because I wanted the dark chocolate flavor to come through, however, you can totally use a little bit more if you want a sweeter cookie. Use promo code HIP2KETO at checkout for 15% off.
-
- I threw in 1/2 cup of ChocZero dark chocolate chips to bring in some extra chocolatey sweetness. There’s really no such thing as too much chocolate, right? 😋 Use promo code HIP2KETO at checkout for 10% off!
-
- After adding the unsweetened cocoa powder, be sure to stir the mixture with a spoon instead of a mixer! Take it from me, my kitchen was covered in cocoa powder when I used my mixer. Oops! 🤪
-
- Be sure to let these delicious avocado chocolate cookies cool for about 20 minutes before eating so they have a little time to firm up.
-
- Store in an air-tight container on the counter. Avoid putting them in the fridge as they may start to get a little mushy.

Here’s what my teammate Jenna had to say after making these keto chocolate avocado cookies:
“These are definitely a good treat for curbing those sugar cravings. The avocado is such a great ingredient and makes the avocado chocolate cookies taste like a decadent brownie. They aren’t over-the-top sweet, which I actually like, and the dark chocolate chips are the star of this recipe!”

Can you use swerve confection sweetener in place of the monk fruit if you have it on hand?
Hi there! Be sure to check our sweetener guide and conversion chart to help with that – https://hip2keto.com/tips/low-carb-keto-sweetener-conversion-chart-recipes/ Enjoy!
Thanks! My more specific question is, can I use a white confection sugar replacement in place of a golden ( like monk fruit) – does that make a difference? Similar to how using plain white sugar might not be best if the recipe called for brown sugar. Some clarity would help 🙂 Can’t wait to try!!
You’re welcome! We haven’t used that sweetener for these. It may change the consistency or taste a bit. Let us know how they turn out, if you decide to give it a try!
I love the ingredients in this recipe, but this one was not for me. 1/2 cup of sweetener to the 1 cup of chocolate was what did it. :/ I did add extra chocolate chips and a lot more sweetener and they were (in my opinion) acceptable. 🙂
Thanks so much for your feedback, Lou. Good to know what you thought of it.
Can frozen avocados be used in place of ripe avocados?
That may work too, Cindy! Just be sure to fully defrost them. Let us know how they turn out if you give it a try!
Will almond flour work if you don’t have coconut flour?
Great question, Andy! YES, you can use almond flour in this recipe. Due to the differences in coconut flour vs almond flour, you’ll want to add 9 tablespoons of almond flour. The cookies will be a little denser using almond flour, but it shouldn’t be off-putting. Let us know how it turns out for you.🤗
