Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 large avocados very ripe, mashed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

Equipment

• Large Mixing Bowl
• Fork or Potato Masher
• Whisk
• 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan
• Oven

Method

 

Preparation

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease and flour an 8.5 x 4.5 inch (21x11 cm) loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mixing the Batter

• In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe avocados until they are very smooth and no large lumps remain. The smoother the avocado, the smoother your bread texture will be.
• Add the two large eggs to the mashed avocado. Whisk vigorously until the eggs are well incorporated into the avocado mixture and the consistency is somewhat uniform.
• Gradually add the self-rising flour to the avocado-egg mixture. Using a spoon or spatula, mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. A few small streaks of flour are perfectly acceptable.

Baking

• Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. The top of the bread should be nicely golden brown.
• Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your simple, delicious avocado quick bread!

Notes

Ensure your avocados are very ripe for the best flavor, texture, and ease of mashing. This bread is best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Here are my tried-and-true tips to ensure your 3 Ingredient Avocado Bread turns out perfectly every time.

• Ripe Avocados are Key: Always use very ripe avocados for maximum creaminess and flavor.

• My Secret Trick: I always line my loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. This makes lifting the delicate bread out of the pan incredibly easy after baking.
