You know what you need? Avocados. You know where you need them? In your breakfasts, lunches AND desserts. “Desserts?! That’s preposterous!” I hear you cry. Not so, my friend. Not so.
Hello again! It’s Kirsten here. When last we spoke, I was Andi’s social media assistant, but I have (sadly!) had to give that up to take on a full-time teaching role. I’m still going to pop my head in from time to time to shower you lovely people with excellent recipes, so I hope we can still be friends. Speaking of friendship, how good are avocados? (Lucky I have a degree in education and not segueing.) Turns out you can do a lot more with avocados than merely spreading them on your toast or putting them in a salad. Who knew that avocados could be a delicious dessert ingredient? Probably everybody, but I’m still amazed at the versatility of this wonderful, healthy fruit. (And yes, it is a fruit – I had to Google that one). Here are ten incredible avocado recipes that you’ll want to make immediately!

Sheena @ Tea and Biscuits says
Avocados are pretty hard to beat, what a great collection of recipes you’ve put together!
Andi Gleeson says
I have to give Kirsten all the credit, but I’m so glad you liked the roundup. Thank you, Sheena!
Michelle @ The Complete Savorist says
Great collection of recipes. I really need to incorporate more avocado in mine and my daughter’s diet.
Andi Gleeson says
I LOVE avocado! My only problem is that right now they are $2 each in my area. Ouch! I hope the price will go back down soon. Thank you, Michelle!
Kirsten says
Andi, how much do avocados cost where you live? $2 is cheap for an avocado here!
Andi Gleeson says
Really? Sometimes they are on sale for $1 or $1.25 is sort of a standard price most of the time. They are grown in our state though, so I guess we can get them cheaper!
Maria says
These look amazing!
Andi Gleeson says
Thanks, Maria!
Holly N @ Spend With Pennies says
Avocados are a favorite around here! I love including them in recipes because my kids love them too! I can’t wait to try out the chocolate cookies!
Andi Gleeson says
Don’t those cookies look so good?? I need to get some of those humongous chocolate chips :) Thank you, Holly!
Cate | Chez CateyLou says
Avocado muffins have been on my to-bake list – those blueberry ones look great! What an awesome roundup!
Andi Gleeson says
Thanks, Cate! I have only made fudge or cookies as desserts with avocado so far. Oh, and a chocolate smoothie. They were all good, so I need to remember to do it more often! xo
Derek @ Dad With A Pan says
OMG that avocado ranch burrito looks so freaking good!
Andi Gleeson says
When the words avocado, ranch, and burrito are involved, how can it NOT be good?? Thanks, Derek!
Cookin Canuck says
There’s never any such thing as having too many avocado recipes, so I love this round-up! Thank you for including my kale salad.
Andi Gleeson says
My pleasure! (Well, really it was Kirsten’s pleasure, but I’m excited she included it!) :)
Kacey @ The Cookie Writer says
What a fantastic round-up of simple avocado recipes. Avocados never seem to go bad here and we are always looking for new ways to include them into our meals!
Andi Gleeson says
I like them in just about any way. Thank you, Kacey!
