I did this as a half-recipe, so it's pretty small. Double the amounts above to make a "normal" sized loaf (I baked mine in the bottom of a casserole dish).

For the yogurt, I'd recommend plain, but I used strawberry, and you couldn't detect any berry taste.

This sounds interesting. Does it actually have an avocado taste? I love avocados and I love bread, I'll have to give it a try.

So, it's not a yeasty bread...is it anything like zucchini bread? Would you consider it more like a dessert instead of a bread that you would use to make a sandwich?

For the less informed, you may want to change "milk" to "soymilk or other milk substitute."

 

[WonderRandy]

yeah it looks like a semi-sweet quick bread. I may have to try it...

 

[karenlovessnow]

Yum...I can't wait to make this! I've been craving something different!!

 

[Savannah]

oh oh avocado bread! me loves avocadoes soooo very much! thank you Jen!

 

[IamJen]

It's definitely sweet, like zucchini or banana bread.

As for the "milk substitute"...soy milk IS milk, yeah? >p

Seems like a shocking thing to do to the decadent avocado. Then again, this could be something to use for overripe avo's! hmmm...

 

[karenlovessnow]

Yeah, but I hate how when I get the motivation to do something, like make avocado bread, I don't have any avocados and the ones I get in the store won't be ripe at all....so it will be days by the time I actually make it and by then I probably won't want it!! Same thing with bananas....but I'm still going for it!
