A soft, sweet, and tender quick bread made with ripe avocados, offering a subtle buttery aroma and gentle sweetness with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. This easy homemade treat is moist, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe avocados (about 2 medium avocados)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 grams)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter (60 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork until mostly smooth but still a little chunky, about 1 cup mashed avocado.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vegetable oil or melted butter to the mashed avocado. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  6. Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, starting to check at 45 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and soft. Use ripe but not mushy avocados for best texture. Let the bread cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling. Tent with foil if browning too quickly after 30 minutes of baking. Optional additions include chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or fresh blueberries. For gluten-free, substitute half or all flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend and adjust baking time accordingly. Vegan adaptations can be made using flax eggs and dairy-free yogurt.
