Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Take your 1/3 cup of almonds and place them in a blender or food processor.
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the almonds.
- Blend the mixture until you get a smooth almond paste. This might take a couple of minutes, so keep blending until the almonds are well processed and the mixture is creamy. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Peel the 3 bananas and slice them into even, bite-sized pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the banana slices to the pan.
- Sauté the bananas for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized on both sides.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the almond paste over the sautéed bananas in the pan.
- Gently stir to coat the bananas evenly with the almond mixture. Allow the mixture to warm up for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pan from the heat.
- Serve the almond bananas warm, either as a standalone dish or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or yogurt.
Tips:
- 1. To enhance the flavor, you can toast the almonds lightly before soaking them.
- 2. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use almond butter instead of making your own almond paste.
- 3. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the almond paste for a spiced twist.
- 4. Serve the almond bananas with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey for added richness.
- 5. For a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped toasted almonds on top before serving.
