Avocado is such a versatile ingredient. To celebrate this delicious fruit, we have come up with two unique recipes that will blow your tastebuds away. We are making bread and pasta out of avocado. Each of these recipes is easy to make and has such satisfying flavors that they will become family favorites.
Our inspiration is to use the Avocado to its full potential. With our knowledge of Cuisines, we have combined different techniques and unique ingredients to make two hearty and healthy meal options.
First is the Avocado Oat Bread with tuna topping. The fluffy oat-based Avocado bread is super savory and one-of-a-kind. It is keto-friendly, gluten-free, and super healthy. And when topped with creamy, cheesy tuna, it is so delicious. It can be eaten as a snack, appetizers and as a side dish. The best part is that it can be made with simple ingredients and is an excellent choice for entertaining large crowds.
Second, we have a lunch and dinner option: Avocado Pasta with Creamy sauce. It is yet another healthy option for pasta. We love this recipe for two reasons: It has homemade pasta made with just four ingredients, i.e., avocado, eggs, rice flour, and salt. And it is super creamy and healthy at the same time, so that you will not feel guilty about it…
Maybe just a little because you might not be able to stop eating.
This recipe is easy to make with just a few pantry ingredients, with a little pasta-making technique. No worries, it’s easy and tastes even better than any store-bought pasta.
Each dish is worth trying!
Ingredients’ Breakdown for Avocado Oat Bread with Tuna Topping
For the Homemade Sponge (Ladyfinger-style base)
- Avocado: Avocado gives a mild, creamy, and rich flavor to the bread. It also adds fat to the bread to have buttery softness.
- Eggs: Eggs work as a binder and help with the structural integrity of the bread.
- Salt: Salt makes the bread taste so much better. It is a must!
- Oatmeal: We are using Oatmeal instead of flour. It is a great keto and healthy option.
- Hard cheese: Hard cheese has a granular texture with a sharp, savory, cheesy, and earthy flavor. We are using the most common hard cheese, i.e., Parmesan. You can also use hard Pecorino Romano, aged Gouda, and Cheddar.
- Baking soda + vinegar: Baking soda and vinegar create a chemical reaction that helps the bread batter to rise and become airy. You can also use just 1 tsp of baking powder as a leavening agent instead.
- Sesame or flax seeds: You can add sesame seeds or flax seeds for extra crunch over the batter before baking. It is optional but highly recommended.
For the Topping
- Carrot: Carrot has a crunchy texture with earthy and sweet notes. It complements the tuna.
- Cream cheese: Cream cheese is the creamy and cheesy element of the topping. You can use low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a low-fat option.
- Tuna: We are using tuna for the topping. It is a versatile fish option that is super mild and flaky. We are using fresh tuna for the topping, but you can also use canned Tuna. Just make sure it is drained properly, or the topping will become runny and watery.
- Pepper: Peppery adds a peppery kick to the topping.
- Fresh parsley: Parsley gives a hint of freshness and a herby flavor overall.
Ingredients’ Breakdown for Homemade Avocado Pasta with Cream Sauce
For the Pasta Dough
- Avocado: Avocado adds a mild, sweet, and savory-rich taste to the pasta.
- Egg: Egg works as a binder for the pasta dough. It also makes it richer in taste.
- Flour: If you are looking for a gluten-free option, then you can use Rice flour. Otherwise, all-purpose flour and Semolina or a combination of both will work fine. Just make sure that you are using high-quality flour.
- Salt: Without salt, the pasta will taste bland, so it is crucial to add.
The Sauce
- Onion: Onion gives the sauce a little body and adds a little oniony flavor as well.
- Tomato: Tomato adds a little savory, tangy flavor to the creamy sauce. It also gives a little pinkish-white color to the sauce, making it look pleasing.
- Garlic: Garlic gives the sauce a spicy, garlicky flavor that we all love.
- Cream: We are using heavy cream for this recipe; you can half n half or plant-based cream like coconut cream as well.
- Salt & pepper: Salt and pepper make the sauce savory and peppery.
- Oil: We are using neutral oil for sauteing the onions and other ingredients. You can also use olive oil.
For Finishing
- Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and savory flavor to the pasta. It also looks great as a garnish.

Instructions
Instructions for Avocado Oat Bread with Tuna Topping
-
Gather everything before starting — avocado, eggs, oatmeal, cheese, carrot, parsley, and seasonings. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F so it’s ready when your batter is done.
-
Add the flesh of 1 ripe avocado and mash until smooth.
-
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Season with salt.
It should look creamy and slightly thick — like guacamole’s calmer cousin. -
-
Add 1 tsp baking soda + a splash of vinegar (or baking powder). Mix gently.
This creates air bubbles so the bread rises instead of turning dense. -
Transfer mixture into a greased or parchment-lined pan. Sprinkle sesame or flax seeds if using. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 25 minutes until golden and set.
-
While baking, grate 1 carrot, chop parsley, and mix with 50 g cream cheese, 100 g tuna, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and spreadable.
-
Let the bread cool slightly, slice it like pizza or toast pieces, and spread the topping on each slice or serve on the side.
Instruction for Homemade Avocado Pasta with Cream Sauce
-
Mash 1 avocado in a bowl.
-
Add egg, salt, and rice flour to the mashed avocado.
-
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. It can take 3 to 5 minutes.
If sticky → add flour OR If dry → add a few drops of water -
Cover and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
Resting relaxes gluten (or starch structure in rice flour) so rolling is easier. -
In meanwhile, chop the onion, tomato, and garlic clove.
-
Roll dough thin (2–3 mm). Dust with flour and cut into thin strips (~0.8 cm).
-
Boil salted water. Cook pasta for about 5 minutes until tender.
-
In a pan with oil, sauté the onion. Add garlic, tomato, cream, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened.
-
Add cooked pasta to sauce and toss gently. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese before serving.
