2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
3. Place mashed avocado and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until almost smooth (there will be a few lumps of avocado). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and blend to combine.
4. Pour avocado mixture along with grated zucchini into bowl with dry ingredients. Gently fold ingredients together until combined.
5. Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
6. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool to room temperature.  Slice and serve.

Variations:  Try substituting 1 cup of packed brown sugar for the regular sugar for a sweeter quick bread.

Serving Suggestion:  Combine softened butter with mashed avocado to make avocado butter. Spread on toasted slices of the bread.
