Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 ripe avocados

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (375 ml) almond flour
  • 0.25 cup (60 ml) ground flaxseeds
  • 0.25 cup (60 ml) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup (60 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing its interior and preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, transform ripe avocados into a velvety, uniform puree using a fork or potato masher.
  3. Incorporate eggs into the avocado mixture, whisking vigorously until the ingredients merge into a cohesive blend.
  4. Gradually introduce dry ingredients – almond flour, flaxseeds, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt – folding them carefully to create a harmonious batter.
  5. For enhanced sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup into the mixture and stir gently.
  6. Transfer the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a smooth surface.
  7. Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted at the center emerges completely clean.
  8. Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure optimal texture and structural integrity.

Notes

  • Skip traditional flour to make this bread gluten-free by ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
  • Add extra protein powder or chopped nuts for increased protein content and crunchy texture.
  • Experiment with different seeds like hemp or pumpkin seeds to boost nutritional profile and create unique flavor variations.
  • Store bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
