Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted
• 3 medium extra ripe bananas
• ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• ¾ cup walnuts, chopped (plus extra for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a standard 1 lb. loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Add the avocado, bananas, applesauce, sugar, vanilla, and eggs to a blender and puree until smooth.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add the avocado mixture to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon just until combined. Add the walnuts and stir to distribute through the batter.
5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out mostly clean.
6. Allow to cool 15 minutes in the pan then use the parchment to lift out of the pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way before slicing.
