Keto Avocado Toast Coconut Flour Bread

You can quickly make the bread in your microwave, then toast it in a buttered skillet. Add some avocado and a fried egg and you’ve got yourself an amazing, filling low-carb breakfast. My teenage kids tell me that avocado toast is the invention of millennials. Perhaps, but even midlife palettes find it quite delicious. However, I had to come up with a keto version before my husband and I could partake. For the bread, I use my trusted recipe for 90-second bread. It’s a super quick bread that you quickly mix in a bowl, then microwave for 90 seconds. After toasting it in a greased skillet, it’s delicious, and can be used as the perfect low-carb base in this recipe.

Ingredients

Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. For the bread: Butter, whole milk, egg, salt, coconut flour, and baking powder (gluten-free if needed). If you object to using milk on the keto diet, you can use heavy cream instead. For the avocado mash: A ripe avocado, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. When it comes to the avocado, I prefer the Haas variety. It’s creamier and less fibrous/watery than other varieties. Remaining ingredients: Butter for toasting the bread and frying the egg, and a large egg.
