AVOCADO BREAD



Avocado Bread image

I love to have avocados on hand, but they sometimes get too ripe too fast. This avocado bread is a wonderful, unusual way to use them. It makes a delightful dessert served warm with chocolate or vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. -Katherine Wollgast, Troy, Missouri

AVOCADO NUT BREAD



Avocado Nut Bread image

This quick-bread is a great way to use up that lone avocado quickly passing it's prime! Not too sweet, pretty color, and no one in my household could guess that it was avocado. It's moist despite containing no oil. Avocados do differ in size, you want 1/2 cup mashed pulp. Walnuts can be substitued for pecans if desired. Number of servings is a broad estimate as it will depend on how thickly you slice it!

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Avocado: Opt for ripe, firm avocados that yield slightly when pressed gently. Avoid those that are too soft or have dark bruises.
  • Measuring Flour Accurately: To ensure precise measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour. Alternatively, fluff the flour with a spoon before spooning it into the measuring cup, then level it off with a knife.
  • Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually while mixing to prevent lumps. Begin with a small amount of the dry mixture, then alternate between adding more dry ingredients and buttermilk until everything is well combined.
  • Avoiding Overmixing: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Baking at the Right Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before baking the bread. This helps the bread rise evenly and prevents it from becoming too dense.
  • Testing for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with moist batter attached, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Cooling the Bread Properly: Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

The avocado walnut bread is a delightful treat that combines the richness of avocado with the nutty flavor of walnuts. It is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own, toasted with butter or jam, or used to make sandwiches. With its moist, tender crumb and subtle sweetness, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create this unforgettable avocado walnut bread. Happy baking!
