Servings 6
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup cashew, almond or any nut butter
- 1 tablespoon almond or coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup peanuts, roasted, chopped
Date Caramel Layer
- 1 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
- 1/2 cup any milk
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.Peel bananas and cut them in half lengthways. Place them on your lined baking sheet.In a mixing bowl, stir together the cashew butter, almond flour and honey until well combined and thick.Make the date caramel layer by combining dates and milk in a blender and blend until very smooth. If the sauce is too thick to pour out of the blender, add just a touch more milk and blend again. Place banana halves the lined baking tray. Spread a layer of the date caramel mixture followed by a layer of cashew butter mixture on each banana half. Around a tablespoon of each but just divide both mixtures up amongst them.
Chocolate Drizzle
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50% power with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Drizzle the chocolate over top of the banana halves using a spoon and then sprinkle the chopped up roasted peanuts over the top of each one.Place the bananas in the freezer 1-2 hours until hardened.Note: Frozen bananas have a tendency to thaw really quickly, so I like to store these in the freezer at all times.Once they have frozen initially on the baking sheet, you can transfer them to an airtight container or a freezer-safe zip-lock bag until ready to enjoy.I like to eat these straight out of the freezer, but if you think they are too hard, you can let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
