Avocado & Lime Bread

Adapted from this recipe

The above photo was posted on Mayver's Food's instagram this afternoon which was completely INSANE. I am a huuuuuge lover of Mayver's nut butters and I have used them in countless recipes. Their Peanut Coconut spread isn't technically in this recipe, but it was a perfect topping. 

Now some of you might be thinking, "Avocado and lime bread? Why? Ew. Just why?" Well, the why is because I got this bag of avocados for 5 dollars and I decided to have fun while desperately trying to use them all up before they rotted. Now as for the "Ew," it's actually really good. Weird as it may sound. It's sort of like banana bread's feisty cousin. Really moist from the avocados and sweetened by maple syrup. Really really delicious.

You'll need:

1 and 1/2 avocado (but I had teeny avocados so I used 2)

juice of a lime

3/4 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon flax

1 and 1/4 cups wholewheat flour

1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

pumpkin seeds (aka pepitas) to top

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Line a loaf pan with baking paper or grease the pan and sprinkle some flour on the bottom and edges of the pan. Mash up the avocado with the lime juice. Combine with maple syrup. Add the dry ingredients and mix it all together. Now, where you put the pumpkin seeds depends on what side of the bread you want to be the top. Since I used a pan with a design, I wanted the bottom of the bread to be the top (if that makes sense?). So, I sprinkled pumpkin seeds in the bottom of my pan and poured the bread mixture over it. If you wanted the top to be the top, then you'd pour the bread mix in and top with pumpkin seeds. Bake for 20-35 minutes, until a knife or toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool. Slice it. And for the optimal experience: top with Mayver's Peanut & Coconut spread. Otherwise, eat it plain or top with a different nut butter.
