We’re officially two months into the New Year – how are you keeping up with your resolutions and goals? If you, like me and so many others, made a goal related to eating healthier or cutting carbs, I have the perfect recipe for you today! These Avocado Deviled Eggs are low carb with all the protein of eggs and the oh-so-tasty) health benefits of avocados. You’ll love these as a low carb snack!
Bonus – they taste so good that EVERYONE will devour them, without even considering they may be low carb. I don’t know about your family but mine tends to not be a fan of most “low carb” snacks, and I have to strong-arm them into just giving them a taste lol! (prime example: my low carb cheesecake recipe.)
We eat a lot of eggs and I find the easiest way to cook them for recipes like deviled eggs (or just eating plain) is in my pressure cooker. I can usually cook 18 or so at a time and when you cook eggs in a pressure cooker, they peel like a dream and you get a perfect looking egg – which is great if you are taking them somewhere.
Don’t have a pressure cooker, but been thinking about getting one? I suggest looking at these:
Pressure Cooker Recommendations:
- Cuisinart 6 quart pressure cooker
- Fagor 8 qt pressure cooker
- Instant Pot 6 quart,
- Instant Pot 8 quart (If I didn’t already have one I would get the 8qt one in a heartbeat- I want that yogurt function!! *update – I caved and got one on prime day – love it!)

Another great thing about these Avocado Deviled Eggs? They’re EASY and customizable. Really, you can make these with only four ingredients, though when I have guacamole on hand, I skip everything and just mix 1/2 cup of guacamole with the egg yolks. It’s also super easy to add a little kick with more hot sauce or skip it completely for a crowd that may not enjoy the spice.
Whenever I make these for a party, I also make sure to leave a plate of them at home for me to eat as a guilt-free snack later!
This recipe only uses 6 eggs but it’s very easy to double or triple it.
