When it comes to avocados, I’m always looking for new recipes to check out and when I saw this Avocado Walnut Bread by Maria of the Scandie Foodie Blog, I knew I hit paydirt.

Can you imagine how much moisture the avocado and the yogurt that’s also in the recipe adds to this bread and how the walnuts also adds a nice tart-nutty-crunch? Spread some jam or nut butter on a slice of bread and I know I’d be experiencing bread bliss. I’m sure you’d be, too.

When you get a chance, be sure to take a look at Maria’s blog for more tasty recipe ideas. Between her and her partner, they share 4 different nationalities, which means you’ll see dishes with an interesting mix of Finnish, Australian, German and Japanese influences. Don’t you just love variety?
