This Easy, Healthy Avocado Bread is gluten free, low carb, and keto-friendly. It’s made with only three simple ingredients you might already have in your kitchen waiting to be used! This bread alternative is a fun, higher protein recipe that’s perfect for when you want to add some variety in your meals with different textures and flavors while also packing in whole food, nutrients. Enjoy it as a quick snack or lunch!
If you’ve tried the viral cottage cheese wrap and loved it like I did, you now need to give this avocado bread a try. I was amazed at how good this turned out and have been using it as a bread alternative when I want something a little more savory and flavorful. Honestly, I’ve been choosing this over the cottage cheese wraps and sourdough most days I crave a sandwich 🙈 It’s super easy to whip up since it’s made with just one egg, a ripe avocado, and some cheese and takes less than thirty minutes. That’s seriously it! Seems too good to be true, but believe me when I say this has THE best texture – soft, fluffy inside with a crisp, crunchy outside. It adds a delicious savory touch to any sandwich that sometimes regular bread just can’t offer!
You know that I’m a huge fan of finding ways to sneak more vegetables into my meals and make healthier alternatives. More vegetables = more color, fiber, and nutrients. So if something can be easily made with a few extra vegetables here and there, I’m going to try it! Some of my favorite recipes I make on repeat (and are picky eater approved) are my Mini Broccoli Pizza Bites, Two Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wrap, Sweet Potato Pizza Crust and now this avocado bread! They’re not a replacement for real bread, pizza, etc. but I like to change things up and just try a different variation of something I love. They’re meant to get creative in the kitchen, switch up flavors, textures, and sneakily add in more whole foods!
The next time you have ripe avocados on hand, give this bread a try and either enjoy a sandwich, use it as a burger bun, for mini pizzas, or as toast. The possibilities are endless and once you’re hooked, you’ll probably try them all 💁♀️

How To Make
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mash the avocado with a fork, mixing well with everything else until a thick mixture forms.
- Place the mixture on the lined baking sheet in circle shapes. (Tip: I like to make mine the size of a regular slice of bread so it has a nice thickness and bakes evenly. You want to make sure they’re not too thin!)
- Before baking, option to top with any seasonings you like – Italian seasoning, everything bagel, chimichurri blend, etc.
- Bake for twenty-five minutes until firm and slightly golden.
- Let everything cool before making a sandwich and enjoy!
