Description

This bread recipe using avocados yields a soft, moist loaf with the smooth, buttery flavor of ripe avocados. And best of all, it's naturally healthy and sweet enough, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or as a healthier substitute for banana or zucchini bread.

Ingredients
  • 2 2/3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp Ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Softened)
  • 1 7/8 cups White Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Mashed ripe avocado
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup Chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup Raisins
  • 1 tbsp Grated orange zest
Instructions
  1. 1
    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. 2
    Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice together in a large bowl; set aside.
  3. 3
    Beat sugar and butter together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then mix in mashed avocado.
  4. 4
    Stir in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk until just mixed. Fold in chopped pecans, raisins, and orange zest.
  5. 5
    Divide batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
  6. 6
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow loaves to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before removing.
