Avocado addicts let's unite! These keto mini pepperoni guacamole cups are an avocado lover's dream. So creamy and yet fresh with a sweet tomato burst.
I love how the creaminess is complemented by the slightly salty crisped up pepperoni. Crispy and creamy at the same time, yes please!
I guess you could call these keto Mini Pepperoni Guacamole Cups savoury fat bombs… made with healthy fats. Either way I know you could call them delicious!
Feel free to use large slices of pepperoni if you want bigger cups. I made them bite sized for a handy on the go-to keto snack or they’d make a delicious party or BBQ appetiser too.

Ingredients (makes 30 cups)
- 30 pepperoni slices, 2-inch each (180 g/ 6.4 oz)
- 2 large ripe avocados (400 g/ 14.1 oz)
- 2 - 4 tbsp lime juice (to taste)
- 1 small brown onion, diced (70 g/ 2.5 oz)
- 1 small chilli pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
- 2 - 4 tbsp chopped cilantro (to taste)
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted), or 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional). Using scissors cut the pepperoni on 3 sides equal distance apart leaving the centre intact.
- Place each slice of pepperoni into a mini muffin tin and push down so it creates a cup. Bake in the oven for 6 - 8 minutes until crisp.
- Meanwhile make the guacamole as per Martina’s recipe here. Please note I used slightly less tomato in this version to easily fit in the cups.
Halve and peel the avocados. Remove the seed and place the flesh from one avocado into a bowl. Mash it well using a fork.
- Dice the other avocado into 1/2-inch pieces and keep aside.
- Squeeze in the lime juice, add finely chopped onion and crushed garlic, diced tomatoes and finely chopped chili pepper. Mix well using a fork and set aside.
- Remove the pepperoni cups from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Stuff with the prepared guacamole.
- Carefully lift from the tray using a spoon and enjoy. Tastes the best when served fresh. If not serving immediately, store the guacamole in a separate container (sealed) in the fridge for up to 3 days. The avocado may brown.
- These savoury fat bombs rock my world. You could try with chorizo or Parma ham too, both so good!
