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