Sadly, no one cared for the almond butter and I was looking for ways to use it up. Spotted this recipe and it looked pretty easy enough as well.

I have read about using avocado as a fat replacement in baked goodies and even tried it once, only to be completely thrown away by the result. So for this recipe, I kept the fat and also added avocado and the bread tasted delicious....]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/07/avocado-banana-bread.html/feed 6 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/04/green-tomato-bread-raw-tomato-bread.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/04/green-tomato-bread-raw-tomato-bread.html#comments Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:28:08 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=15305 I got this recipe from my friend last summer when we both had a ton of tomatoes in the garden. Other than the usual kootu I did not have many recipes with raw tomatoes and was thrilled to know about this bread.

While glancing over “taste of home cookbook”, I noticed a recipe that uses sour cream. It is an interesting ingredient in a cookie and I had to try it out.
