Avocado Substitutions

Flavor: Avocado has a mild, slightly nutty flavor that can subtly influence the taste profile of your baked goods. While it doesn't have the same rich, creamy taste as butter, it can add a fresh and unique component to the overall flavor. Since avocado lacks the inherent sweetness of butter, the final product may be less sweet, which could be beneficial in recipes where a less sugary taste is preferred. The avocado's flavor, although subtle, can complement chocolate and nut-based recipes particularly well. Try it out in brownies and other chocolate recipes

Texture: Replacing unsalted butter with avocado will result in a baked good that has a denser and more moist texture. The natural fats in avocado are creamier and contain more water than butter, which can lead to a slightly heavier crumb structure. The mouthfeel may be softer and less flaky compared to butter-based products, making it ideal for items where a tender texture is desired. However, the substitution might not provide the same airy quality that butter would in certain recipes, such as laminated pastries.
