When thinking of Avocados you may not think Avocado Recipes…
Avocados are often used for guacamole and garnish on top of Mexican food, but don’t think that is where they only belong, although I could really go for some chips and guac right about now.
Avocados are wonderful in recipes too.
Begin by mashing the avocado and getting it a bit smooth (some lumps are ok, you don’t need to puree it). Combine the flour, baking powder, salt with avocado and blend with a party cutter. Add milk, eggs cilantro and cheese (crumbled)
I can see the crumbled cheese…oh yummy!
Roll the dough on a floured surface and cut into desired shape. You can pat it into a square and cut the scones into triangles or roll with a floured rolling pin and use a biscuit cutter. My dough was about an inch thick.
Place on baking sheet, brush on egg wash (egg white mixed with 1 Tablespoon water) on tops of scones. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Until a toothpick does not come out sticky, but don’t over bake them.
Serve warm with butter and enjoy!

They should be wonderful…
Really wonderful…
i love avocado and I’m sure these are very tasty. Have to try them.
These would make a great lunch along with an avocado and mandarin salad recipe I have. Lovely looking scones. You always make lovely looking scones, sweet or savory.
Paula, I hope you’ll share that recipe 🙂
Diane, I love this!! It looks amazing and I never met an avocado I didn’t like. I’m pinning these to try later. 🙂
Thanks so much Julie
Such a creative use for avocado! Love it, Diane!
Thanks Naomi 🙂
These sound amazing!
What a great idea to use avocado in these!
Thanks I’ll have to try using them to replace the butter in other recipes too
Just look at those beautiful scones! What a great idea to add avocado. I have never heard of anything like it… so you are basically now a genius in my mind. 🙂
oh you have me laughing Amanda 🙂 thanks
I’ve made guacamole and avocado smoothies, but I have to admit I’ve never baked with avocado – brilliant idea using avocado in scones!
I love avocados! I just scrambled myself some eggs with sauteed bell peppers, cheese, sour cream and avocado:) These are a must make! YOU are the scone QUEEN, Diane!
I just love scones so much, it’s the “bread girl” in me 🙂
wow divine!
Thanks
I love all scones and these savory avocado scones look delightful!
Wow! Diane, what a great idea for avocados! Wish I could taste them right now! Thanks for using Reed avocados!
Thank you Mimi for the wonderful avocados they were delicious!
Oh goodness! I love scones and the addition of avocados is brilliant! I bet they are soooo yummy! Great job!
Thanks! They were really delicious, will be making them again for sure!
These sound wonderful and they are unusual to boot. I really like that. I always enjoy visiting your blog and never leave empty handed. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings…Mary
Thank you so much Mary! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
These sound so lovely and flaky. I could even imagine some chopped green chiles in there!
Oh yes Kathy, that sounds good!!!
Oh yes that sounds good. These would be good spiced up a bit too.
What a great way to boost the nutrient content of scones, love it!
This would be excellent with a salad – sounds delicious!
I can just imagine how melt-in-your-mouth buttery these are from the avocado.
yes, I should have spread avocado on them or maybe that would have been over to top 🙂
These look different..but good 🙂 is there another cheese i could use? Dont think i could find that where i am..
Oh yes I’m sure they would be good with parmesan a white cheddar or a very light feta would probably work for a substitution.
Thanks!
I need help! The avocade isnt mashing too well. I even put it in the blender but i guess it wasnt ripe enough and i was too impatient to try this recipe. So now im stuck with hard avocado flesh. I dont want to mess up the recipe. What should i do? If i put it in fridge will it get soft?
If the avocado isn’t ripe then it won’t be smooth. If you use a firmer avocado I think once it’s baked it will be fine. Refrigerating avocado will not help it to ripen. It does the opposite. Go ahead and bake the scones and if the flavor or texture isn’t what you’d expect, try again another day with ripe avocados.
ummmmmmmmmm what quantity do you use?
of what item are you asking about. (if there is an error in any recipe I try to correct it asap, let me know what you are referring)
