    This is the best gluten-free avocado bread recipe! The bread is so easy to make and has the best taste and texture. And don't worry, it doesn't actually taste like avocados! This healthy bread is also dairy-free, refined sugar free, and paleo.

    I love making almond flour baked goods like my almond flour biscuits, which is why I can't wait for you to try the almond flour avocado bread recipe I am sharing with you today!

    Why you'll love this bread: 

    • It has the most amazing flavour! It's a little sweet, nice and moist, with the perfect outer crust.
    • It's so easy to make. It requires only 5 minutes of prep time and you don't need a bread maker to make this bread recipe.
    • This is a healthier version of the famous 1973 TikTok avocado bread. This version is refined sugar free, gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo. It's also higher in protein with 8 grams of protein per slice!

    Ingredients:

    For the exact measurements refer to the recipe card later in this post.

    The ingredients for making avocado bread separated into bowls including flour, sugar, avocados, eggs and baking soda.
    • Dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, salt, and baking soda. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal which is too coarse.
    • Avocados: be sure you use ripe avocados.
    • Eggs: to help the bread rise when it bakes.
    • Apple cider vinegar: helps to activate the baking soda, allowing the bread to rise.

    Recipe variations and add ins: 

    • Feel free to add raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts to this gluten-free avocado bread to give it a different flavour and texture. 
    • Instead of almond flour you can use cashew flour. 
    • Instead of apple cider vinegar you can use lemon juice. 
    • Instead of coconut sugar you can use brown sugar.

    How to make gluten-free avocado bread: 

    A food processor filled with sugar, eggs and avocado flesh.
    1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and while the oven is heating add the avocado flesh, eggs, and coconut sugar to a food processor.
    A bowl filled with bread batter with a spoon in the batter.
    1. Step 2: Blend the ingredients in the food processor until they are smooth and then transfer them to a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir everything until the batter is smooth.
    A glass bread pan lined with parchment paper with bread batter in it.
    1. Step 3: Transfer the batter to a bread pan lined in parchment paper and spread it out evenly. Bake the bread for 50 - 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean.

    1. Step 4: Let the bread cool before slicing it into pieces and enjoying.

    Top Tips: 

    • Do not try subbing the baking soda for baking powder. It gives the bread a very weird, acidic flavour. 
    • I recommend baking this bread in a glass loaf pan.
    • Use room temperature eggs for best results.
    • I used medium sized avocados for this recipe. If you have small avocados try using 4 instead. 
    • Serving ideas: you can use this bread in many different ways. I like using it for toast and sandwiches and also love topping it with blueberry chia seed jam, macadamia nut butter or granola butter.
    • Storage: store this gluten-free avocado bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months in a freezer safe bag or container.

    Gluten-free avocado bread FAQs:

    Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda?

    Definitely not! I actually tried a batch with baking powder and it tasted horrible! It gives the bread this weird acidic flavour so please don't try it. 

    Instead of tapioca flour can I use cassava flour?

    No! Tapioca flour and cassava flour are very different. Cassava flour requires WAY MORE liquids to get the proper texture so if you were to try using cassava flour in this recipe as it's written you would end up with a dry, crumbly mess. 

    Is this avocado bread recipe keto or low carb?

    This avocado bread has 34 grams of carbs, 7 grams of fibre and 27 net carbs per serving, so no, it would not be considered low carb or keto. 

    Can I make this avocado bread vegan? 

    I have not tested a vegan version of this recipe so I am not sure if it would work out. If you do want to try making it vegan, I suggest replacing the eggs with either chia eggs or flax eggs. If you do try it please let me know how it turns out. 

    Does this bread taste like avocados? 

    Nope! I had 4 people test this bread recipe and none of them could tell it was made with avocados.
