They wrote: ‘Introducing the AVOCA-DOUGH Buns! In a high-street first, we’ve launched these EPIC vegan-friendly avocado burger and hot dog buns. 

‘Pureed avocado replaces egg and gives the buns a slight green hue, whilst coconut oil enriches the buns for that classic brioche texture.

‘We’ve filled ours with our Plant Kitchen Chorizo Puppies and Plant Kitchen No Beef Burgers!

Both buns are a natural source of vitamin D and fibre AND they are just £1.15 each for a pack of two!

M&S Bakery Product Developer – Kirsty Rowley told FEMAIL: ‘Avocados are huge – be it avocado on toast, in a margarita or simply as part of a salad – and social media goes mad for all things avo! 

‘Our new avoca-dough buns are the perfect BBQ accompaniment and complement our amazing Plant Kitchen selection beautifully but go equally well with some of our fantastic meat-based products too. 

‘The softness of these brioche style rolls soak-up all the fantastic BBQ juices for ultimate summer bite.’
