This is from my new favorite blog that Bird told me about last week. She thought I'd love it, and she was right. Joy the Baker writes in a fun way, and has a good variety of recipes. But the best part is, she's full of recipes that make you go, huh? I love that!
Here's the first one I've tried from her blog, Avocado Pound Cake. (I know, you're making a face, I don't blame you. I was more in open-mouthed awe when I first read the recipe title)
Whisk/sift together, then set aside:
3 cups flour 1/2 cup cornmeal 1/2 t salt 1t baking powder 1t baking soda
Cream together
1 and 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened 3 cups sugar
Beat until fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Beat in 1 cup + 1T mashed avocado (Joy says she used 1.5 avocados, but mine must be small because I needed 3 avocados). The batter turns a lovely green color.
The batter's green. It's awesome.Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time.
Add 2t vanilla.
still green!Add in half the flour mixture, 3/4 cup buttermilk, and the rest of the flour. Mix until just combined.
Transfer to muffin tins (makes about 30 muffins) or 2 9x5 loaf pans, all greased/sprayed with nonstick spray.
green!!Bake at 350F for 40 min (muffins) for 55-60 min (loaf pans), until bread is set.
Enjoy for breakfast, a snack, part of your dinner, or dessert. The muffins are a lovely soft green color, and you can just barely taste the avocado. My avocado-hating husband has been devouring these since I made him try a bite (skeptic-turned-believer).
