Ingredients for Banana Bread Walnuts

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • Raisins
  • Coconut

How to Make Banana Bread Walnuts

  1. Preheat your dehydrator to 105°F (40°C).
  2. Place 1 cup of walnuts in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  3. In a blender, combine 3 ripe bananas, 2 tablespoons raw honey, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) to the bowl with the walnuts.
  6. Pour the banana mixture into the bowl with the nuts. Stir gently until the nuts are evenly coated.
  7. Line a dehydrator tray with a teflex sheet. Spread the banana walnut mixture evenly onto the sheet.
  8. Dehydrate for 24 hours, or until the bites are completely dry and chewy. Check on them after 12 hours to ensure even drying.
  9. Once dehydrated, store the Banana Walnut Bites in an airtight mason jar at room temperature. Enjoy them as a snack, add them to your cereal, or crumble them over yogurt!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
