Keto Avocado & Sesame Loaf

Ingredients

  • 2 Large ripe avocados (mashed until smooth)
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 2 cups Almond flour (super-fine)
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder (optional, for a savory twist)
  • ½ tsp Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice (prevents the avocado from browning)
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds (for the topping)
  • ¼ cup Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two small loaf pans or one large one with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
  2. Mix the Wet Base: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and lemon juice together. Add the mashed avocados and mix until well combined and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until the batter is thick and consistent.
  4. Fill the Pans: Divide the batter into the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  5. The Topping: Generously sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top, pressing them slightly into the batter so they stick.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven for 35–45 minutes. The bread is ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cooling: Allow it to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. This is crucial for keto breads as they need time to “set” their structure.

Why this works:

  • Healthy Fats: Using avocado replaces the need for butter or oil, providing a rich texture.
  • Low Carb: By using almond flour instead of wheat, this recipe remains grain-free and keto-friendly.
  • Versatility: You can slice this and toast it, or use it as a base for a high-protein breakfast sandwich.

​Would you like me to adjust the ingredients for a different flour base, or perhaps a sweet version?
