Avocado Lemon Loaf
This Avocado Lemon Loaf delivers a delightful balance of creamy richness and citrus brightness. Thanks to ripe avocados, the loaf stays exceptionally moist, while lemon and orange zests add a burst of fresh flavor. A sprinkle of Demerara sugar creates a sweet, crunchy top that makes each slice irresistible—ideal for breakfast, a midday snack, or a light dessert.
