Add What You Like

Once you have the basic batter, feel free to swap or add dried fruits, nuts, or seeds to suit your tastes. The ingredient choices in this recipe reflect what I enjoy, but it’s easily adaptable. Mix things up seasonally—dried cranberries and festive spices work well at the holidays.

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are widely available at grocery stores. You can use whole flax seeds or milled flaxseed (flaxseed meal); both work well in baking. If you prefer, substitute sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or omit seeds entirely. Adding flax provides a boost of healthy fats and fiber when included in muffins and breads.

Using Avocado in Baking

When substituting avocado for butter or oil, use ripe avocados that are slightly soft but not overly mushy. Mash or blend the avocado until smooth so it integrates evenly into the batter without leaving chunks. Avocado adds a healthier source of fat and moisture to baked goods.

Shredded Carrot

Shredded carrot brings natural sweetness, texture, and a lovely orange hue to the bread. Grating the carrots finely helps them meld into the batter as it bakes, producing a tender crumb with subtle pockets of carrot flavor.

Breakfast Bread

Imagine a breakfast bread that’s as nourishing as it is delicious: a Bundt loaf filled with shredded carrots, banana chips, avocado, kale, raisins, and flax seeds. It’s a flavorful, nutrient-rich morning treat.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1 cup dried banana chips, plus 1/2 cup for the top
• 2 eggs
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup flax seed (whole or milled)
• 1 cup chopped kale
• Handful of pumpkin seeds (optional)
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
3. In a mixer or large bowl, blend the mashed avocado, melted butter, sugar, milk, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
4. Fold in the shredded carrot and raisins. Crush the banana chips and add them to the mixture.
5. Add the chopped kale and stir to combine.
6. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Stir in the flax seeds.
8. Prepare your pan: spray a Bundt pan with non-stick spray, dust lightly with flour, and spread the remaining banana chips (and any optional nuts or seeds) on the bottom. If using a different pan, you may need to divide the batter between pans.
9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
10. Bake about 45 minutes, but check early and often—oven temperatures vary. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when done.
11. Important: let the bread cool in the pan for one hour. Run a knife around the edges, place a plate or cutting board over the pan, and carefully invert the bread onto it.
12. Let the bread cool an additional 30 minutes before slicing. Serve plain or with butter.

Iced Coffee for the Perfect Pair

This breakfast bread pairs beautifully with a refreshing iced coffee. If serving at brunch, prepare a chilled coffee beverage to complement the loaf’s flavors—simple, energizing, and easy to make.
