Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the loaf pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ripe large avocado
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  • Thoroughly mash the avocado with the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the sugar, half-and-half, vanilla and egg and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture and stir until incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
