Time 1h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground allspice
½ cup butter, softened
1 ⅞ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 ½ cups mashed ripe avocado
¾ cup buttermilk
¾ cup chopped pecans
½ cup raisins
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed avocado. Stir in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk until just mixed. Fold in the chopped pecans, raisins and orange zest. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
  • Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow loaves to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great with a savory topping, like avocado slices or goat cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This avocado quick bread was a delightful surprise! The texture was moist and fluffy, with a subtle avocado flavor that complemented the sweetness of the bread. I added a bit of chopped walnuts for extra crunch, and it turned out perfectly. Definitel
