Yes, Avocado Bread. Its like banana bread without bananas (and with avocados instead)!

And all those aromas of cinnamon from this drew me into the kitchen while the loaf was still in the oven!

I even eded up giving in part way through the shoot and just devoured 2 thicc slices with Peanut Butter. SO SO SO indulgent!

Why use Avocado in Baking Recipes

Avocado is fruit – a berry to be more specific – that’s known for being packed with good-for-you fats and high in fiber too.

Here’s a comparison of 3.5oz or 100g of Avo || Banana:

Calories: 160 || 89

Fats: 14.7 || 0.3

Carbs: 8.5 || 22.2

Fiber: 6.7 || 2.6

Sugar: 0.7 || 12.2

Protein: 2 || 1.1

So by baking with avocado in place of banana, you get a high protein breakfast bread that’s actually healthy.

Side note, I just realized bananas are berries too, so this isn’t too far off from a nana-bread right?

Ingredients for Protein Avocado Bread

Since avocado has so much natural fat, you don’t need to add any in this healthy protein avocado bread recipe.

And to keep this avocado loaf healthy but still natural, I used a stevia sweetener and stevia-sweetened protein powder. No sugar added.

Ripe Avocado
Vanilla Protein Powder for protein packed avocado recipe, and also replace the most o the sweetener.
I used whey-caesin Vanilla protein powder from Quest Nutrition since it bakes well.
Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein bread. I used a whey-caesin blend from Quest Nutrition.
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
Stevia Sweetener
Greek Yogurt for moisture since there’s no oil in this recipe
Unsweetened Almond Milk
Eggs
Vanilla Extract
Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg
Baking Powder

Tips for Protein Powder Avocado Bread

This healthy protein powder avocado bread recipe is really easy to make, but here’s some tips to get it right.

Grease the pan so the loaf comes out easily.

Puree avocado and milk first in food processor so you get a smooth batter.

Use room temperature eggs, yogurt and milk;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the quickbread tough, dense and gummy.
Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar avocado loaf.

How to store Protein Avocado Quickbread for Breakfast

This protein packed avocado quickbread is a great meal prep for breakfast or a snack.

Store protein avocado loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, and in the fridge for 5-6 days.

To freeze, slice protein avocado bread and wrap each piece in plastic wrap and then place in freezer safe zipper bags in the freezer. You can also store this healthy avocado loaf as a whole.

Alternatives for a Healthy Avocado Loaf

I made this healthy avocado bread with the ingredients listed below to keep it sugar free and low fat, but you can try some alternatives.

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: Use All purpose flour or 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour in the same amount by weight not cups.
Unflavored Protein Powder: More flour, but also reduce the milk to about 3-4 Tbsp.
Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt
Almond Milk: Any other milk
Stevia Sweetener: Monkfruit sweetener (to keep it sugar free) or regular sugar.
I recommend Lakanto monkfruit sweetener; Code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too.
