Easy Guacamole Deviled Eggs
These guacamole deviled eggs are a unique twist on classic deviled eggs that my brother-in-law introduced us to when we visited them in Texas at Christmas. I did not grow up eating guacamole or avocados so I asked my brother-in-law to teach me how to make homemade guacamole and he went the extra mile and showed us how to make these delicious and eays guacamole deviled eggs!
I guess Texas is the birthplace of the “put avocado in everything trend” that has been sweeping the country. Avocado on subs, avocado in brownies, avocado in smoothies, avocado everywhere!
And why not! Avocados are awesome! Avocados are loaded with healthy goodness like:
- Potassium! Have you ever heard the trick to ease muscle cramps by eating a banana? Well, actually an avocado has more potassium than a banana and potassium also helps lower blood pressure.
- High in healthy fats which is awesome for heart health and lowering cholesteral!
- High in fiber which aids digestion.
- High in Vitamin K which helps proper blood function in your body.
- The high fat volume means it helps you stay full longer and feel more satisfied.
Combining the superfood avocado with nature’s most complete food the egg basically means you are getting a super-duper superfood with these guacamole deviled eggs. Â You can make the hard boiled eggs and guacomole yourself using your favorite recipe or buy them pre-made to whip up this recipe in a flash!

Do you like avocado? What do you do with your leftover Easter eggs?Â
Guacamole deviled eggs sound great. I LOVE guac and deviled eggs. It’s so annoying that no one else here likes guacamole!! I think I would make some for myself though, and just add the guac to my eggs 🙂
Yeah! You could totally do that!
i am actually not an avocado fan but i have some friends who would LOVE this recipe! i will share it with them 🙂
Thanks Courtney! It took me a long time to come over to the avocado side! 😛
OMG yum!! I know what I’ll be doing with my leftover eggs!! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy!!
Oh Katie, I make these too, without the dressing, and just love them. Avocado is my FAVORITE source of healthy fat and we eat lots of them here. So happy you shared this recipe today!
They are so good and simple! My husband loves them!
Oh these are so easy! And so delish! Any excuse to eat more guac!!
#guacfordaaaysss
These look so good! I’m making this weekend.
Yay! Let me know what you think!
Hi! Is there any kind of a substitution for the dressing?
You could leave it out or sub like a southwest ranch maybe? I don’t think it makes a big difference but my husband says it adds a “special spark”. But definitely not cruial to the recipe in my opinion.
I actually don’t like regular deviled eggs, but I’d sure try these!
Yeah, they are definitely non-traditional and don’t have the mayo that normal ones have.
Sounds delicious! I have never been a huge avocado fan but I LOVE deviled eggs so this will be on my radar for my summer bbqs!
Yes! They are perfect for parties and have been a hit wherever I take them (if folks like avocado!)
Hm, these sound good! I didn’t grow up with avocados or guacamole either, but I really like both now!
Such exotic foodies we have become. 😉
wow, yum. I love eggs and avocado. If I made these I think I would eat them all and not leave any to share 🙂
I think it is a common problem! I leave most for my hubs and daughter since I’m not crazy about eggs.
I love deviled eggs, and avocado in general (but especially guacamole! <3) is one of my favorite things ever. :] I love that you put the two together!
I actually am not a fan of guacamole. Weird, I know. Probably the only person on the planet that doesn’t like avocado!
It took me a while to come around to it!
I haven’t had deviled eggs in ages but I’m craving these right now 😀
Yummy… These sound unique and delicious.
I love guac and I love deviled eggs – will have to try combining them!
I loved deviled eggs, I love guac – this sounds amazing!
It’s a match made in foodie heaven! 🙂
Yumm-O! Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – the door opens tonight @ midnight EST! We hope to see you then. 🙂
