PREPARATION
CARAMELIZED WALNUT BUTTER

In a blender or food processor, grind the walnuts for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky or paste-like.

Add the oil, a little bit at a time until the walnut butter binds together (about 5-10 minutes).

Mash the banana with a fork, then spread it on the toast and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Serve.
