When you think of lemon loaf, you likely imagine a light, citrusy treat perfect for brunch or afternoon tea. But add avocado to the recipe, and you get a delightful twist that not only enhances the flavor but also boosts the nutritional profile. The Avocado Lemon Loaf is a moist, tender, and vibrant dessert that marries the creamy richness of avocado with the zesty brightness of lemon.
Why Avocado?
Avocado brings natural creaminess, healthy fats, and a subtle buttery flavor to baked goods. Its high moisture content helps keep the loaf tender while reducing the need for excessive oil or butter. Plus, the nutritional benefits of avocado—including fiber, vitamins, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats—make this loaf a guilt-free indulgence.
