This light avocado and lime loaf is a clever way to use up ripe avocados, with buttermilk and avocado oil keeping the crumb soft and tender. Fresh lime zest adds brightness to the loaf, while a simple lime drizzle gives it a sweet, tangy finish. Serve it as an easy teatime bake or a simple afternoon treat.

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Combine the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Place the eggs, avocado, lime zest, avocado oil, buttermilk and vanilla in a separate bowl.
