Spicy Avocado Bread

Avocado Bread! (This just could not be without our friend, Trader Joe. It’s savory and sweet. I use it as one would use cornbread. This bread makes excellent open-face sandwiches.) Ingredients 1 ½ Cups Trader Joe’s Multigrain Baking Mix (or flour) ½ Cup Trader Joe’s Oat Bran 1/4 to ¾ Cup organic sugar (I prefer 1/4th cup, depends on your sweet tooth) 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (can omit if you use baking mix in place of flour) 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (add ½ teaspoon if you use flour, less for baking mix) 1 large egg 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Energy = Salsa + Guacamole 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts 1/4th Cup finely chopped Trader Joe’s Spicy Dried Mango Slices Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Combine the baking mix, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend thoroughly. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and avocado. Stir in the buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and blend well. Stir in the nuts and dried fruit. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Yield: 1 loaf
