Equipment
- 1 loaf pan (9x5 inches)
- 1 Mixing Bowl (Medium)
- 1 whisk
- 1 Fork or potato masher
- 1 spoon or spatula for mixing
- 1 Measuring Cup and Spoons
Ingredients
- 1 large Avocado mashed
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 2 cups Gluten-free flour all-purpose or a mix
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Fresh herbs rosemary, thyme, parsley, or basil
- 1 teaspoon Optional Sunflower seeds or nuts for texture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the eggs and olive oil, whisking together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and fresh herbs.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. If the dough is too thick, add a little water or olive oil.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the avocado is fully ripe for a creamy texture.
- If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking.
- The bread stores well for up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container, or you can freeze slices for longer storage.
- Experiment with different herbs for variety or add in nuts and seeds for extra texture.
- For a vegan version, replace the eggs with flax or chia seed eggs.
