Have some avocados that are about to go
bad? Did you buy too many because they were on sale? No worries, I do
it all the time. Instead of always making guacamole with it, I
decided to try something else. I wondered if I could bake something
sweet with them. I have been known for adding stuff to my baked goods
like apple sauce, beets, zucchini, etc. However those are all flavors
that can easily be hidden. I wasn't sure if you could really hide the
distinctive flavor of avocado. I decided to do a little digging.
I wasn't the only one that wanted to
try this out. I found numrous recipeies that had avocado in them but
they still weren't what I was looking for. So I had to do some
playing around to find what I needed.
I decided to mix the sugar, swap out
some regular flour, add some of this and some of that. They turned
out great. They were a hit and no one suspected something was up with
them until they noticed a speck of green! Guess I didn't mash the
avocado well enough....LOL.
