Prep Time: 10–15 minutes
Bake Time: 30–35 minutes
Total Time: About 45–50 minutes
Servings: 6–8 slices
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
3 large eggs
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 ripe avocado, mashed
Optional: Sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mash the avocado in a bowl until completely smooth with no visible lumps.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until slightly frothy.
Add avocado oil to the eggs and mix well.
Stir in the mashed avocado until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.
Tips
Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to pressure for smoother blending.
Measure almond flour properly by spooning and leveling to avoid dense texture.
Avoid overmixing once dry ingredients are added to keep the bread tender.
Let the loaf cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Store in the refrigerator for better structure and longer freshness.
Toast slices lightly for improved texture and flavor.
Line the pan with parchment for easy removal.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado to reduce browning.
Check doneness at 30 minutes since ovens vary.
Use room-temperature eggs for smoother mixing.
