Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 ripe Delcado avocado

• 1 tbsp matcha powder

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• Rind of one lemon

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1 large egg

• 1 tbsp honey

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.

2. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl; set aside.

4. Thoroughly mash the avocado, matcha powder with the lemon juice, and lemon rind in a large bowl. Add the sugar, half-and-half, vanilla and egg and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the flour & chocolate chips to the mixture and stir until incorporated.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

TIP: Choose Delcado avocados for this recipe. The slow grown avos from WA are extra creamy, which is exactly what you need for this loaf.
