Avocado Bread

Ingredients

2x large avocado (haas or other)

1x cup buckwheat flour (can substitute for other flour)

3tbsp psyllium husks

1tsp pink himilayan rock salt

1/2 cup pepitas + extra for topping

1/3 cup LSA  (Linseed, sunflower and almond meal) or plain linseed meal

Sesame seeds for topping (can use a mixture of seeds e.g. linseeds, sunflower, pepitas, buckwheat. quinoa)

Method

• Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius. Line a medium loaf tin with baking paper

• ​Cut the avo's through the centre, remove core and scoop out flesh from all 4 quarters into a blender. Blend until smooth.

• In a bowl add all your dry ingredients except pepitas (buckwheat flour, psyllium, salt, LSA) and mix together.

• Add dry ingredients to the blender and mix until a moist dough is formed. 

• Now add in pepitas and slowly mix in (so they don't get chopped up too much).

• Scoop mixture into the prepared loaf tin and smooth out the top with a spatula or back of a spoon. Sprinkle pepitas and sesame seeds (or mixed seeds) on top of loaf and press down to make them stick into mixture.

• Place loaf tin into the oven and bake for 1 hour. You may need more to ensure the middle is cooked through.

• It is hard to tell when it is cooked because it will still be a moist loaf due to the avo however, when the top is browned & roughly after around 1 hour, 15 minutes max. it should definately be done. Another thing to note is that when you toast the loaf again (in a toaster or sandwhich press), it will cook it a little further too!
