This 3 ingredient avocado bread recipe went viral for a reason. As the name suggests, it is made with only three ingredients, is ready in under 30 minutes, and is low-carb! It’s a great sandwich bread option for those of us avoiding gluten.
I was first introduced to this viral TikTok recipe by a friend and I am hooked! It’s a lot like my Avocado Cottage Cheese Wrap recipe but less pliable due to the drier nature of shredded cheese. It’s best described as sandwich bread rather than wrap.
Why you’ll love this recipe
- It’s quick and easy to make with just a bowl and a fork as equipment
- It uses just 3 ingredients
- It’s low-carb.
- It tastes great and is a gluten-free substitute for sandwich bread or even as a pizza crust.
What you’ll need for avocado bread
Avocado A small Hass avocado.
Cheese I like to take a block of Parmesan or cheddar cheese and shred it at home. You can use pre-shredded cheese if in a pinch. Pre-shredded cheese does however have additives to prevent clumping.
Egg One medium egg will suffice.
How to make it
Preheat your oven to 400ºF/ 204ºC. In a medium-sized bowl add the shredded cheese, avocado, and egg. Smash the avocado and mix everything until it is well combined. On a parchment-lined sheet pan, make 2 equal discs with the back of a spoon and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let it cool completely before using.
Tips & substitutions
- Make sure to line your sheet pan with parchment paper. That helps with the easy removal of the bread. I don’t spray my parchment because it is intrinsically nonstick but a reader did have an issue with hers so you may want to spray or grease yours the first time just to be safe!
- Add seasonings. I didn’t add any to this recipe but you can add garlic powder or onion powder as I have in my Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe.
- Make it spicy. Add some red pepper flakes for an added kick.
- Make it a pizza crust. Use the whole recipe to make a pizza crust instead!
Storage
Refrigerate Store the leftover avocado bread in a zip-top bag or foil and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freeze You can freeze the avocado bread for up to 1 month and thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before heating it in the toaster oven.

I added 2 heaping tbs of cottage cheese and Pesto. FLUFFY and delicious. Yea, it’s not exactly low in cals or sodium but it’s much better than regular bread. Had much trouble with the rounds sticking to parchment alone, greased sheet but still had trouble, but I did have an easier time removing when I greased and added cornmeal. Would have given 5 stars if the batches didn’t stick so bad. I made 3 batches:
1. straight recipe
2. added Pesto
3. added cottage cheese, pesto and thyme.
Flipping/Peeling back the parchment and baking an extra 5 mins worked for batch #3 Stick problem has been solved (happy dance…)
Mrs D says
tried thi recipe to use as a hamburger bun.
I used pre-packaged quacamole (7.5 oz) because I don’t like plain avocados, so my prep was a bit easier.
I am on a crazy diet to reduce inflammation, so I used chia seeds instead of quinoa or flax.
with these modifications, my version probably had a bit too much sodium.
Mine had to be flipped after 15 minutes as tops were golden brown and lovely, but the under sides were still a bit mushy. Cooked another 10 minutes.
They turned out pretty good, amd DEFINITELY better than having no bun which is how I have been eating hamburgers up until this point. I would make them again!
Would work for a breakfast sandwich as well.

Thanks for letting us know about your experience with readymade guac and other tweaks Mrs.D:)
Melanie Eitelman-Colvin says
This bread is very good. I made it with shredded parm and after putting them on the baking sheet I added Bagel seasoning. I made a sandwich with fresh garden tomatoes, little mayo, lettuce and a slice of honey ham. Yum
Then I put the two left over piece and placed them back in the oven and baked even longer to make them chip like. Gonna try different cheeses next time.
Nicole Rivard says
there is a lot of sodium and fat from the cheese in this recipe. Maybe not so much cheese and some veggies like tomatoes.
Zeeshan says
Thank you for bringing the high sodium content to my attention Nicole! I use an online tool which gave skewed sodium content. It’s all fixed now! It’s always good to shred your own cheese if you’d like the sodium to be even less and healthier alternative over all:)
Trish says
Just made this it is delicious! I wonder if you could make it with laughing cow cheese or a low fat cheese…
Zeeshan says
Thanks Trish! I haven’t tired it but no harm trying it out!
Bobbi Cooley says
can i make this with no cheese?
Zeeshan says
Hi there! I’m afraid I haven’t tried it without it.
Penny says
I absolutely love this. I’ve only made it a couple times. My problem is mine sticks to the parchment paper. What am I doing wrong?
Zeeshan says
Hi Penny. That is odd but try brushing the parchment with some oil. That should work!
Lori Vernon says
absolutely delicious and so easy a 3-year-old can make it
