Christmas Colored Avocado Bread

I call this Christmas-Colored Bread cuz of the green from the Avocados and red from the dried Cranberries! SO pretty and SO healthy too! Look at the list of ingredients, NO oil, NO butter and nope, Buttermilk is definitely NOT unhealthy especially since I used the lowfat kind! In fact, you really can't get healthies than a loaf of bread FULL of monounsaturated fat (that's the good kind), Omega-3 AND antioxidants! Yes, I know I'm a genius...

Ingredients:

2 c all-purpose flour
½ c sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 egg
1 ripe, medium sized avocado. mashed
½ c buttermilk (I used lowfat)
½ c chopped walnuts
¼ c dried cranberries

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.

2. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. In another larger bowl, beat egg and avocado together. Stir in buttermilk.

3. Add dry mixture to wet mixture and stir until just blended. Stir in walnuts and cranberries.

4. Spoon into loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out cleanly.
