Very moist and dense. The neighbor ate 3 slices before I told him the secret ingredient. Awesome slathered with butter (but what isn't?).

I love this stuff. The kids, not so much. It can be a little dry depending on the size of your avocados and getting the mix just right, but a warmed up slice with a little butter on it is great.

Very interesting, and very, very good! I chose this recipe in the first place and decided to follow it exactly because I've come across this submitter's name several times either with her recipes or with her reviews and have always found she knows what she's doing! If Michelleca says it, I respect it and I follow it! I used this batter for muffins and baked them at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. What the avocado doesn't contribute in flavor is more than made up for by what it contributes in richness and moistness. Because it is a neutral flavor the bread (or muffins in my case) picks up the flavor of whatever additions you make. In this case the orange flavor is prominent with a hint of cinnamon and spice - very pleasant. It is the addition of the orange zest, pecans and raisins that really make this extraordinarily delicious, and I would suggest not to leave any of it out. The bread is not quite green but definitely a different color. It is beautifully flecked with the pecans, nuts, raisins, and specks of orange zest and green avocado. I loved the recipe just as written but the mildness of the avocado lends this to any number of flavor or fruit variations. I topped the muffins with sparkling sugar before they went in the oven, which gave them a sweet, sparkly crunch. Once again, Michelleca, you have come up with something good!

Moist, tender, and scrumdiddlyumptious. My family was definitely skeptical but it is GREAT. I cut the sugar down to a cup, and added less allspice as others recommended. I also used lemon zest instead of orange zest, and I think next time I will definitely use more nuts!

I'm going to start by saying that I've made some alterations....but followed the basic recipe and it can out great! It didn't taste like it had avocado in it at all. It kinda reminded me of pumpkin bread. I will definitely try again!

This was a very interesting bread which got mixed reviews around my table. It was incredibly moist and flavorful but some were put off by the overwhelming presence of the nutmeg. I used golden raisins and pistacios. Not sure if I would make this again just because not enough people in my family liked it.

Great recipe! I found this recipe because I was trying to use up some extra buttermilk and leftover avocados (what a combination). I made just a couple of changes. I added 1/2tsp of nutmeg + 1/4 tsp of all spice. I wasn't paying attention when I picked up the nutmeg but it tasted pretty good in the end. Didn't have raisins so I substituted dried cranberries in place of raisins. Also, I only had one baking pan so I used the other half of the batter to make muffins (12 medium-sized muffins). I put them in with the bread and baked them for 25-30min. Very pleased with the results . . . super moist.

Strange, but pretty good. No real avocado flavor or color, but a good quick bread. The loaves were a little flat/small, so not terribly pretty to look at (or give as a gift), but they tasted good. I used pistachios.

Very tasty. I only used 1.5 cups of sugar and replaced the raisins and nuts with dried crannberries and sunflower seeds because that is what I had on hand. It took a little under an hour to cook. I will definatley make this one again.

This bread is so good! It's moist and yummy. I didn't have buttermilk like one of the other reviewers so instead I used 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of milk like they did and it worked great!

I really enjoyed this bread - what a great way to use up left over avocados! I'm definitely going to keep this one around to use again. It had great texture and the raisins and nuts in it were fabulous.

This tasted like a loaf of spices and sugar. I doubt it'd have made a difference if I'd completely left the avocado out of it. I certainly couldn't taste them at all.

Delicious. I substituted soy milk with vinegar for the buttermilk. I didn't have any orange zest, but it was delectable without. Great recipe!

Very moist and delicious! I had a lot of avacodoes to use up so I tripled the batch and used walnuts that I already had in the house. Turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipe.

Just "ok." Moist, dense, bread, pleasant enough. I cut the sugar down to 1.5 cups and found that sweet enough. Nice to use up avocado, but give me carrot quick bread any day.

These were much better than I expected. I made half the batter into a loaf, and the other half into cupcakes and topped with cream cheese icing. Even people who aren't very vegetable-friendly loved them! I prefer it in loaf form, but for company, the cupcakes were perfect.

Very moist and sweet. Interesting color. I didn't bother putting in the pecans, and I think if I make this again I'd leave out the raisins because I just didn't think they added anything to it. I may have added more avocado than called for--I just mashed up an entire avocado and didn't bother measuring. I scaled the recipe to make one loaf. Good, though, and different.

After an over-exuberant trip to the farmer's market, I found myself with way too many ripe avacados. This was the perfect way to use some of them. My kids couldn't get enough of this bread! I ended up making two batches- two loaves were eaten almost immediately, the other two were frozen for later. Perfect.
