Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 cup ripe mashed avocado about 2 medium
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Now, let's roll up our sleeves and get started with baking this delightful avocado bread. Follow these steps carefully, and prepare for the masterpiece.
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  1. Before you do anything else, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Properly heating your oven sets the perfect stage for baking.
Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan
  1. Grab a loaf pan and grease it lightly or line it with parchment paper. This step ensures that your bread comes out effortlessly once it's baked.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Mix the Wet Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together mashed avocado, sugar, vegetable oil, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and lime zest until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  1. Now, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. It's crucial to mix just until combined. Over-mixing can lead to a dense loaf, and we want that perfect fluffy texture.
Step 6: Add Pecans
  1. Stir in the chopped pecans. These add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the creaminess of the avocado.
Step 7: Pour it into the Loaf Pan
  1. Transfer your batter into the prepared loaf pan. It's time for this beauty to go into the oven!
Step 8: Bake to Perfection
  1. Bake your avocado bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end. You want that lovely golden-brown crust.
Step 9: Cool, Slice, and Serve
  1. After removing the pan from the oven, let it cool for about 10 minutes. After that, release the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Cut your slices and enjoy!

Notes

Here are some tips to ensure your avocado bread turns out perfectly every time:
  • Use Ripe Avocados: This is key for that creamy texture. They should be slightly soft to the touch.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stop mixing as soon as you see no more dry flour. This keeps your bread light and airy.
  • Experiment with Add-Ins: You can mix in chocolate chips or dried fruits for a sweet twist.
  • Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary. Start checking the bread at around 50 minutes.
  • Cool Completely: Letting it cool makes slicing easier and prevents it from getting soggy.
