Avocado Banana Bread is a deliciously moist and tender quick bread that incorporates ripe avocados and overripe bananas, making it a healthier alternative to traditional banana bread. This recipe skips the oil and butter, relying on the creamy texture of avocados to create a rich and flavorful loaf.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados (mashed)
  • 2–3 overripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose)
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mash Avocados:
    In a food processor or blender, mash the avocados until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the sugar. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined.
  • Blend Wet Ingredients:
    In the same food processor or blender, add the peeled bananas, eggs, milk, vinegar, and baking soda. Blend until smooth.
  • Combine Ingredients:
    Pour half of the banana mixture into the avocado-sugar mixture. Add one cup of flour and mix until just combined. Add the remaining banana mixture and the second cup of flour, mixing until the flour is just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add Chocolate Chips or Nuts (Optional):
    If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts gently.
  • Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle extra chocolate chips or nuts on top. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve:
    Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  • Storage:
    Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate to extend its shelf life. The bread can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • For a more health-conscious version, use whole wheat flour or half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour.
  • For added texture and flavor, try adding chopped walnuts or pecans.
