Baked Avocado Mac n’ Cheese – Gluten Free, Dairy Free & Vegan

Avocado lovers and mac n’ cheese lovers unite! This recipe is the best of both worlds (or 3 worlds for those that have dietary restrictions, like me). 

I know, I know, it doesn’t look the most appetizing, but don’t judge a book by its cover! When I first made this I too had mixed feelings on whether or not it would be good, and trust me it’s DELICIOUS.

This avocado-mac hybrid is one of the most delicious green things you can eat (besides avocados themselves!)

This recipe is SO easy to make and makes enough to feed the whole family! The best part is that you don’t have to worry about bribing the kids to eat their green veggies because they are already mixed in.

This avocado mac n’ cheese is perfect all year round, especially on ‘green’ holidays like St. Patrick’s Day or for Christmas as the Grinch’s mac n’ cheese. Get creative and have fun in the kitchen because cooking is fun! (Although, the dishes aren’t)

Alright, now I am just getting goofy. I’ll let you get to the recipe now!

ENJOY!
