Pureed avocado replaces butter and/or oil in this version of everyone’s favourite way to use up overripe bananas. While it leaves a hint of avocado flavour, most won’t even notice it. When pureeing the avocado, make sure to get it completely smooth by stopping and scraping down the bowl of the processor frequently.
