Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

Step 2

Halve, pit and scoop out the flesh of the avocado. If there’s more than a gently rounded half cup, reserve the remainder for another use, or eat immediately.

Step 3

Place the avocado, banana, sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the bowl once or twice.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Pour the avocado mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, and divide the batter equally between the cups. Sprinkle the nuts over the batter, and gently press them down so they stick to the batter. Bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.
