Directions:
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed avocado, oil, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender crumb.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf for an extra burst of lemony sweetness.
Serving Suggestions:
