Description

This Sweet Avocado Quick Bread is a moist and deliciously unique twist on traditional quick breads. Made with ripe avocados that replace butter or oil, it provides a subtle creamy texture and healthy fats, balanced perfectly with sugar and vanilla for a sweet treat. It’s an easy-to-make loaf with simple pantry ingredients, ideal for breakfast, snack time, or a wholesome dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder (aluminium free)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy removal of the bread.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Set this bowl aside for later.
  3. Cream Avocados and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on medium-high speed to blend the ripe avocados and granulated sugar until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, making sure everything is fully incorporated into the batter with no lumps.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet avocado mixture. Stir carefully until the batter is just combined and no flour streaks remain.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving to maintain its moist texture.

Notes

  • Ensure avocados are ripe for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix when combining dry and wet ingredients to avoid a tough bread.
  • You can substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar or brown sugar for a different flavor.
  • Store the bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
