What to make with two avocados

I've been given 2 avocados and need some inspiration please.

I was going to mash them up and add them to some oats, sultanas and an egg (then stick the mixture on a tray and bake in the oven ---------> think flapjack). 

Anyone else got a better idea (sweet or savoury)?

    I love them on seeded bread with salt and pepper.  Add thinly sliced tomatoes if you like.

    Also good in a salad with some chicken (or not if you're vegetarian).  I never buy them as they tend to go off before I eat them, or when I really crave them they are not ripe enough.  I have been known to eat a half straight out the skin.  Or make a guacamole to go with chilli and/or salsa

    I really enjoyed this avocado cake! It amused me that it is green.

    Guacamole.  Smash together with diced tomato, lime juice, diced jalapeños and  hot sauce (tbh I just substitue reggae reggae for the hot sauce). Serve on toast with poached egg.

    Guacamole or on toast with Everything But The Bagel seasoning on the top. Maybe a poached egg.  Some of those crispy fried onions?

    Some really good suggestions - The chocolate avocado mousse is really appealing,
    Crispy fried onions ----> Interesting, as ive got some lying around and have been struggling to use them up.

    Some great ideas

    Thanks Guys

    They make an excellent and simple chocolate mousse-like dessert.

    A good tip on how to measure honey on this link, ‘coat the spoon with a little flavourless oil and the honey slips off instead of sticking to the spoon’ 😁

    Reserve guacamole for those on the turn. 

    Ones that are just ripe are perfect eaten unadorned.
