- 2 ripe bananas, grated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Follow the steps bellow to peel and cut the butternut squash. First make several large slits through the skin with a sharp knife.
Microwave the squash on high for approximately 3-4 minutes to soften the skin. Remove from microwave and let it rest until it is cool enough to handle.
Peel the squash with a peeler or knife. Then cut it in half lengthwise and discard the seeds. Cut into 2 inches pieces.
Heat 2-tablespoons oil in a pan over medium heat. Add butternut squash pieces and sauté for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and cook covered until soft and tender, about 30 minutes.
Drain and mash them with a potato masher.
Crush the biscuits coarsely and place in a large bowl.
Mix together the crushed biscuit, grated bananas, butternut squash, walnut, cinnamon and cardamom. Taste and add powdered sugar if needed.
