Deviled eggs are a favorite dish among people everywhere, especially for party appetizers, snacking, or holidays. The good news is: if you are on a ketogenic diet, you too can enjoy keto avocado deviled eggs with added nutrition and benefits. With avocado as a base for your filling, not only are you getting healthy fats, but you are adding amazing flavors.
This easy recipe takes a short time and pays off as a healthy, delicious to grab snack. Feel free to spice it up or add to anyway you like! Sometime I add jalapenos to give it a pop of spice and flavor, while my son enjoys a few bacon bits on his!
