Move over avocado toast; there's a new sheriff in town: the Viral TikTok Avocado bread!
Meno gals!
Have you heard about the latest craze sweeping our favorite social media platform?
I'm talking about the viral TikTok avocado bread—and not just any version, but the "Glow Up" avocado bread recipe Version that will take your culinary game to the next level.
This isn't just a recipe; it's a gluten-free, low-carb, and nutrient-dense masterpiece that turns the humble avocado into a show-stopping bread.
So, tie your apron strings, and let's dive into this viral sensation that's as nourishing as it is delicious.
5 Ingredient Gluten-Free Avocado Bread - A Low Carb Best
Gluten-Free Avocado Bread
Picture this: ripe avocados, almond flour, flax meal, and a dash of creativity.
This isn't just any quick bread recipe; it's a testament to using avocados in ways you've never imagined.
With menopause on the horizon, finding feel good foodie options that support our changing bodies is crucial.
This bread, my friends, is not just any regular bread; it's slices of heaven (albeit figurative slices, not real ones, of course).
Why Avocado Bread?
As we navigate the waves of menopause, incorporating healthy fats and low-carb options into our diet becomes more important than ever.
Avocados, my lovelies, are packed with good fat and bring the right amount of sweetness and green color to our bread, making it a great recipe and a great way to keep our bodies humming happily.
Plus, it's a fun use of avocados and a kind of bizarre addition to our culinary repertoire.
The Avocado Bread Recipe - One Bowl, 5 Ingredients
To whip up this feel-good marvel, you'll need:
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed to perfection
- 1 cup shredded vegan parmesan cheese (hello, dairy-free goodness!) - the original version calls for mozzarella but I am currently cow dairy free
- 1/3 cup almond flour for that gluten-free magic
- 1 tsp flaxseed meal, a nod to our heart's health
- 1 egg to bind our dreams and ingredients together
- A little bit or a lot of bits, depending on your taste buds - use any mixture of spices you like or Everything But the Bagel seasoning for that extra oomph.
The Process: As Easy as Pie, but It's Bread!
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees because our bread can't wait to get that golden tan.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This little trick ensures a non-stick magic carpet for our final product.
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until they bind together. This mashed avocado mixture is the heart and soul of our bread.
- Spread the mixture into two medium-sized round discs on the baking sheet: the canvas for your edible art.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. What comes out is not bread; it's a testament to culinary sass.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Making Your Avocado Bread Sandwich
Let the bread cool once you've marveled at your creation (I sure did).
I promise it will crunch once you bite into it! Turning this bread into a sandwich is where the fun begins.
It screams gourmet yet whispers home.
My favorite way to build up this low carb, gluten-free, gorgeous avocado bread sandwich is the following:
- Fresh rotisserie chicken pieces - high protein which is good for building menopausal muscles
- Lemon dill hummus - chickpeas are highly nutritious phytoestrogens and are rich in calcium, magnesium, and fiber
- Spinach - Spinach is rich in Vitamin K, a nutrient proven to significantly contribute to bone health by positively influencing bone mineral density.
- Broccoli sprouts - It contains sulforaphane, abundant in glucosinolate—a compound rich in sulfur—enhances liver detoxification and alleviates symptoms associated with menopause.
Biting into this was a moment of pure bliss, my friends.
So much so that I had to break out into my food dance. (Note, this dance sneaks out in moments of culinary ecstasy.) Peep my own TikTok and Instagram video!
Making It Last - Because You'll Want To
Double or triple the recipe because, trust me, one batch won't last long.
Wrap extras in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in freezer bags.
Your future self will thank you on those days when cooking feels like climbing Everest because you are in one of your menopause slumps.
Embracing Change with Every Bite
Ladies, as we journey through menopause, let's remember to embrace change, not just in our bodies but in our kitchens, too.
This avocado bread recipe is more than just food; it's a symbol of adaptation, of finding joy in the new and unfamiliar.
It's about caring for ourselves, one delicious new found bite at a time.
So, the next time you're pondering over your grocery order, throw in some extra avocados. Who knows? They might be the main ingredient in your next great recipe.
Make sure to bake extra and store them in your freezer bags so you can heat them up on the go!
Or if you want to serve them at your next brunch party and knock the socks off of your guests!
Here's to delicious new avocado recipes and learning to be an extra badass boss in the menopause kitchen!
