Avocado Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Avocado Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab two 9x5 inch loaf pans and give them a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice.

4. Step 4

   This fragrant blend will set the stage for your delightful loaf, so set it aside for now.

5. Step 5

   In another bowl, take your softened butter and white sugar, and with the help of an electric mixer, cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re fully incorporated, fold in the mashed avocado, which will add a lovely richness to your batter.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together.

8. Step 8

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-egg blend, alternating with the buttermilk.

9. Step 9

   Mix gently until everything is just combined—overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, and we want it to be light and airy! Now, for a delightful crunch and flavor, gently fold in the chopped pecans, raisins, and freshly grated orange zest, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

10. Step 10

    With your batter ready, divide it evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.

11. Step 11

    Slide them into your preheated oven and let them bake for about an hour.

12. Step 12

    You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing the perfect texture.

13. Step 13

    Once baked, resist the urge to dive in right away! Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for at least 20 minutes.

14. Step 14

    This step is crucial for achieving that perfect slice.

15. Step 15

    After they’ve cooled a bit, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the first bite of your homemade loaf!.
