ONE NUTTY FROZEN BANANA TREAT! 

1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1 tsp canola oil (divided)
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1/4 cup almond meal
4 Tablespoons of almond butter
2 tsp of Agave
1 tsp vanilla
Sea Salt-a couple turns on the grinder

Take your sliced almonds and pecans and put them on a cookie sheet. Mix around with about 1 tsp of canola oil and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Roast at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Put these toasted nuts into a food processor and give them a good chop.

Pour this into a mixing bowl and add the almond meal. In a separate small bowl combine the almond butter, agave, vanilla, salt and the remainder 2 tsp’s of oil. Microwave for about 15 seconds…just to get the almond butter softened up so you are able to mix it all together. Add this creamy mixture to the nuts and almond meal, and stir until a crumbly mixture form.

Place peeled banana on a piece of foil, take some of the mixture and firmly press it around the banana. Finally, gently covered the banana with the foil and popped it into the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Slice and serve!
