Banana Crunch Bars

INGREDIENTS

2 CUPS ALMONDS

1 CUP WALNUT

2 MEDIUM RIPE BANANAS

1/4 CUP COCONUT OIL

1 TSP CINNAMON

1/4 TSP SEA SALT

1/4 CUP FLAX MEAL (GROUND FLAX SEEDS)

1/4 CUP SHREDDED COCONUT

1 TSP CINNAMON

METHOD

• PROCESS ALMONDS UNTIL BROKEN DOWN INTO LITTLE PIECES, ADD IN WALNUTS AND PULSE UNTIL CRUMBLED.  POUR INTO A BOWL AND SET ASIDE

• PROCESS BANANAS, OIL, CINNAMON, AND SALT UNTIL SMOOTH

• ADD NUT MIXTURE (RESERVING 1/4 CUP TO POP ON TOP OF BARS), GROUND FLAX AND COCONUT AND PULSE UNTIL COMPLETELY COMBINED

• PRESS MIXTURE INTO A CAKE TIN LINED WITH CLING WRAP.  I USED A PIECE OF BAKING PAPER TO PRESS MIXTURE IN AND LEVEL OUT.  SPRINKLE REMAINING NUT MIXTURE OVER THE TOP, AND PRESS INTO MIXTURE

• PLACE INTO THE FRIDGE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO BEFORE SLICING! 

I USED RAW NUTS, YOU COULD TRY THIS WITH TOASTED NUTS TOO.

GROUND FLAX CAN BE BOUGHT OR MADE, OR YOU COULD SUBSTITUTE WITH CHIA SEEDS.

YOU COULD ADD IN SEEDS/CACAO NIBS/GOJI BERRIES ETC TO BOOST NUTRIENTS
