A delicious light pastry puff with a dash of banana and avocado.

Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 220 C (430 F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Use a small cookie cutter to cut circles from the pastry sheets and place half of them on prepared baking tray.

Mash banana and avocado together until smooth.

Place small spoonfuls into the center of the pastry circles on the baking tray.

Gently place the other half of the circles on top.

Press the edges together with a fork.

Bake for about 12 minutes, or until puffed and golden.


DID YOU KNOW...

  • Most of the nutrients in an avocado are concentrated in the dark green flesh closest to the peel. By scooping the flesh out of an avocado, most of this highly nutritious flesh is left behind. The best way to ensure you aren't losing the best part of the avocado is to gently peel the skin off rather than scoop it out. Cut your avocado in half lengthways so they are held together by the pit, then gently twist to separate the two halves. Cut each half again so you have quarters, then gently peel the skin back from the flesh like you would a banana.
  • Bananas are a fantastic ingredient in toddler cooking, as they are a healthy way of sweetening any recipe without adding refined sugar. Mashed banana can also be used in place of butter or oil to keep cakes and muffins moist.
