Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups macadamia nuts, toasted (see note below) divided
• 1 cup coconut butter, store bought or recipe below in notes
• 1 medium banana, mashed
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• If you prefer your macadamia nuts toasted to extract more flavour, preheat oven to 325°F. Line cookie sheet or tray with parchment paper or aluminium foil and toast for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

  Line a 9 x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.

  Combine the coconut butter and honey into a medium sized saucepan over low/medium heat to soften the coconut butter and honey. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and mashed banana. Stir until combined.

  Place 1 cup of the macadamia nuts (either raw or toasted) into food processor and blend until nuts form a smooth paste.. Add to the melted ingredients in the saucepan and stir until smooth and well combined..

  Chop the remaining ¼ cup of macadamia nuts and fold a handful into the fudge to add some texture, while keeping some to sprinkle on top.

  Pour into loaf pan and smooth out with a spatula or back of a spoon. Sprinkle with remaining chopped macadamia nuts.

  Place in fridge to chill for at least 4 hours. Then remove, cut into squares, and serve.

  Store in fridge for up to 2 weeks or in freezer for up to 3 months.
