Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups avocado about 2 large avocados
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil like melted coconut oil, olive oil, etc.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk unsweetened almond milk or coconut cream
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey light agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips plus some more to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line the bottom and sides of an 8½ x 4½-inch medium loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the avocado to a food processor fitted with the steel blade or a high powdered blender and pulse to break it down. Then add the oil, vanilla, milk or cream, honey and eggs, and pulse or blend until smooth.
  • Add the almond flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips to a large bowl. Then, mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle top with chocolate chips. Note: the batter will be very thick and you will need to spread it across the pan with a spatula.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan over a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Storing: To preserve the freshness of the bread, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze for longer storage.
