Avocado Toast

It may seem silly to give a recipe for avocado toast, but there is an art to it, as with most things that are both simple and perfect. Here, you want to make sure of a few things: that the bread you use is sturdy and has some taste; that there's enough salt and citrus to bring out the avocado's flavor; and that you use a good olive oil to bring it all together. These garnishes, from the Australian café Two Hands in Manhattan, are tasty but unnecessary.

Recipe video above. This is a great, relatively quick-to-make sweet loaf bread ideal for afternoon tea or breakfast treat. The most time-consuming part is chopping the apple because there's quite a lot of the fruit in this! Yogurt and oil make the crumb beautifully moist so it will stay fresh for days. I like to add walnuts for soft crunch but it's entirely optional. The apple slice topping is also optional. So many options! :)Want apple muffins instead? Here it is!

About this Recipe

Craving a unique and wonderfully moist quick bread that's as delightful to look at as it is to eat? This Avocado Quick Bread is a revelation, offering a subtle sweetness and an incredibly tender crumb, perfect for any occasion from breakfast to dessert. It effortlessly transforms simple pantry staples into a vibrant green treat.

The true genius of this recipe lies in the humble, ripe avocado. Far beyond just adding a beautiful, natural green hue, the avocado is the secret to an exceptionally moist and rich quick bread. It replaces other fats, creating a luxurious, tender texture that melts in your mouth, all while imparting a nuanced flavor that doesn't overtly taste like avocado, allowing its inherent creaminess to shine.

Prepare for a truly delightful sensory experience. You'll bite into a velvety-soft quick bread, perfectly balanced with a gentle sweetness from the granulated sugar and a delicate hint of vanilla. The natural pale green color is an inviting touch, making this bread a visual standout on any table. Each slice offers a satisfyingly rich yet light consistency, making it substantial enough for a fulfilling breakfast, elegant enough for an afternoon tea snack, and a surprisingly light, unique finish to any meal. This bread is designed to deliver consistent deliciousness with every loaf.

This Avocado Quick Bread recipe celebrates the simple harmony and specific roles of its core ingredients. To achieve the recipe's signature moisture and vibrant green color, selecting two perfectly ripe avocados is paramount; they should be soft to the touch but not overly mushy. Furthermore, using three room temperature eggs is key for proper emulsification and developing the desired light, airy crumb, ensuring an ideal texture in every slice. Sticking to these foundational elements will yield the most authentic and satisfying results.

This versatile quick bread is fantastic at any time of day. Enjoy a generous slice with your morning coffee or tea, pair it with fresh berries for a delightful brunch spread, or serve it as a light and interesting dessert that’s sure to spark conversation and delight your guests.
