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.

- 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.
