Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. Add avocado, cottage cheese egg and nutritional yeast to a food processor or use a hand-blender and blend until smooth.

  3. Divide the batter into 3 equal portions and shape each into rounds on the prepared baking sheet with the back of the metal spoon to spread the batter evenly.

  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread rounds are set and lightly golden on the surface.

  5. Eat immediately or cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for coming days to eat.


Serving Suggestions


  • Savoury: Top with salted salmon and till, hummus or bean spread with cilantro, or a sprinkle of seeds.
