Ingredients
-
4 ripe avocados (about 2 cups mashed)
-
6 large eggs
-
2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
-
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
5 cups almond flour
-
1/2 cup coconut flour (optional but gives better structure)
-
1 tbsp baking soda
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
Zest of 2 lemons or limes
-
Optional add-ins: 1 cup dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9-inch bundt pan thoroughly with coconut oil or nonstick spray.
-
Mash with a fork or blend avocados in a food processor until completely smooth.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed avocado, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and zest.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in chocolate chips or any extras if using.
-
Pour the batter into the bundt pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil halfway through if it starts browning too quickly.
-
Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
