Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until mostly smooth. Whisk in sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until well blended.
Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold just until no dry streaks remain. If using, fold in chocolate chips or walnuts.
Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if browning quickly.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months. For a citrus twist, add 1 teaspoon grated lime zest to the batter.
