Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Line a loaf tin.

Remove the skin and stone from the avocado and place in a separate bowl. 

Add the banana to the avocado and mash the ingredients. 

Mix in the egg and milk, combining vigorously. 

Gradually add the avocado and banana mash mixture to the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
