How to Make Avocado Quick Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 (about 200g) ripe avocado, mashed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Check at 50 minutes).
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
