Welcome to Gaia! ::

The catering company I work for serves this avocado bread with rich black coffees for breakfast, or as a sweet side to cool down the burn of high spice Latin American foods.

INGREDIENTS:
* 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 3/4 cup and 3 tablespoons white sugar
* 1-1/2 eggs
* 3/4 cup mashed ripe avocado
* 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons buttermilk
* 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
* 1/4 cup raisins
* 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest


DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed avocado. Stir in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk until just mixed. Fold in the chopped pecans, raisins and orange zest and pour it into the pan.

3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow loaves to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing.

Holy cow! Avacado BREAD?! That sounds fantastic! I'll have to try this recipe and give you some feedback.
