Butternut Avocado Smash
Avocado Smash has quickly become a brunch staple, and you will rarely find a restaurant without it on their menu. The problem for those living with food allergies is that this delicious brunch favourite is typically served on bread. Without the toast, you're just left with a plate of guacamole. Arguably delicious, but not quite as exciting when your friends are all devouring waffles and pancakes around you. In this recipe, we've replaced the slice of bread with Butternut Squash! Super simple to whip up in the morning, and free from the Top 8 allergens.
