Tips for Choosing the Right Avocado for Baking

🥑 Go for Ripe, but Not Overripe – The avocado should be slightly soft when gently pressed but not mushy or brown inside. Overripe avocados can have a strong taste and affect the loaf’s texture.

🍃 Avoid Underripe Avocados – If your avocado is too firm, it won’t blend smoothly into the batter, leaving small chunks instead of a creamy consistency.

💚 Check the Stem Trick – Gently remove the small stem at the top. If it’s green underneath, the avocado is perfectly ripe. If it’s brown, it’s overripe; if it doesn’t come off easily, it’s not ready yet.

🍌 Speed Up Ripening – Need ripe avocados quickly? Place them in a paper bag with a banana or apple for a day or two to speed up the process.

🧊 Store for Later – If your avocados are ripe but you’re not baking yet, store them in the fridge to slow down ripening until you’re ready to use them.

Using the right ripeness will ensure your avocado loaf turns out smooth, rich, and delicious!
