How to Freeze Avocado Brownies

I not only try to meal prep as often as I can, I also try to dessert or snack prep when I can. These Keto brownies are seriously the most perfect freezer friendly dessert.

This is a super moist and fudgy like gluten free brownie recipe so you’ll want to make sure they are wrapped really well. In order to maintain their fresh flavor, once the brownies have completely cooled, double wrap them, making sure the plastic wrap is touching the whole surface.

They freeze well for up to a couple of months. You can thaw them right on the kitchen counter.

Tips for Making a Perfect Chocolate Avocado Keto Brownie Recipe

  • Room temperature eggs: When baking in general, you always want your eggs to be room temperature. This ensures they mix easily and evenly.
  • Almond flour brownies need to cool: To make sure your chocolate avocado brownies cut into nice and clean squares, wait until they have completely cooled before cutting.
  • Check for doneness: Brownie batter is rather dense and because it is dark in color, it can be a little deceiving when they are done. When baking these Keto Avocado Brownies, timing is important. Start checking for doneness 5 minutes before time is up.

What are the Health Benefits of Avocado?

The star ingredient in these gluten free brownies makes them a delicious but also a healthy snack.

Did you know that avocados are considered a super food on the Keto diet? It’s no wonder because they’re rich in healthy fat, omega-3 and very low in net carbs. Avocados are high in monounsaturated oleic acid, a heart-healthy fatty and are loaded with fiber.

And did you also know that avocados have 60% more potassium than bananas? How great is that?!

There are so many wonderful benefits to incorporating avocado into you diet. Check out this article of Healthline to read more about just how good they are for you.

  1. your recipes are great. can’t wait to try this one. What I would like to comment on is the right scroll bar on your website. I cannot select it. It is way to narrow. The mouse just turns into a double arrow when I try to use it (which just enables me to change the browser’s margins. Please fix this. It’s frustrating!!!

    1. Thank you so much for the kind words about the recipes, I’m really glad you’re enjoying them! I appreciate you pointing out the issue with the scroll bar. I haven’t been able to replicate the problem on my end, but I’ll definitely look into it to see if there’s anything I can adjust to improve the experience. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!

  2. I have a question regarding the sweetener. Will a monk fruit/allulose blend change the texture adversely? Pure allulose causes gastric upset for me so would prefer allulose blend or swerve, whichever is the best for texture. Thanks.

  3. 5 stars
    I added a pinch of kosher salt. I think lemon rind would be good too. I’ll definitely make this again

    1. That is wonderful. I love hearing that you love them so much. I enjoy making a batch or two up and keeping them in the freezer so I can have a quick, healthy, dessert on hand when I get a sweet tooth.

  4. Hi, I don’t like the taste of coffee. can you taste the coffee extract or is there a substitute you can recommend? thanks so much!

    1. You really can’t taste it, it’s only used to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. You can just omit it if you’d like and they will still be great!

  5. Sounds delicious! I’ll have to give this a try soon! Thanks for the recipe, I’m now following you. Check out my comedy blog and give it a follow if you enjoy it!
