I love finding new alternatives to classic bread recipes, as they allow me to increase my nutrient intake while still enjoying a delicious meal.

Avocado Flatbread is a modern alternative to traditional flatbread, made with just three simple ingredients. This recipe doesn’t have ancient roots but has gained popularity alongside health trends, including low-carb and gluten-free options. Not to mention the rising popularity of avocado in cuisine—an ingredient packed with healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. Thanks to its natural creaminess, there’s no need for extra moisture from oils or butter to achieve a rich and soft texture. As the demand for high-protein, low-carb meals continues to grow, this Avocado Flatbread has become the perfect choice for preparing healthy and light sandwiches or wraps.

Before storing the Avocado Flatbread in the fridge, let it cool completely to room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can separate the flatbreads with parchment paper to prevent from sticking and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months, using a freezer-safe bag.

Avocado: it adds natural creaminess and moisture to the dough, helping create a pliable texture. Avocado is packed with healthy fats that are good for heart health, fiber, and vitamins. Moreover, it helps bind the other ingredients together without overpowering them, creating a balanced taste.

Egg: it’s an essential binder that ensures the dough sticks together and doesn’t fall apart during cooking. Moreover, the egg increases the softness and chewiness of the dough, acting as a leavening agent and contributing to the overall lightness of the Avocado Flatbread. Finally, the egg is a great source of protein, vitamins, and minerals such as iron and zinc.

Emmental: grated emmental has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor that complements the creamy avocado and balances the richness of the egg. It melts as the flatbread cooks, creating a pleasantly crispy surface. Finally, emmental cheese contributes moisture and richness to the recipe, preventing the bread from becoming too dry or dense.

My tips for Avocado Flatbread

You can substitute grated Emmental cheese with grated Parmesan.

Use a fully ripe avocado, as it is creamier and easier to mash, preventing the dough from becoming too thick and dry.

Fill the Avocado Flatbread with hummus, tomatoes, and arugula, or dip it in sauces like Greek yogurt or guacamole.
