Ingredients

CARAMELIZED WALNUT BUTTER

  • 1 pound California walnuts
  • 3 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil

BANANA TOAST

  • 2 slices of toasted whole-wheat bread
  • 3 tablespoons Caramelized Walnut Butter
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

CARAMELIZED WALNUT BUTTER

  1. To make Caramelized Walnut Butter, start by drizzling 3 teaspoons of honey over the walnuts. Sprinkle a 1/2 teaspoon of salt over them and toast the walnuts in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes at 350℉. Remove from the oven, and let cool.
  2. In a blender or food processor, grind the walnuts for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky or paste-like.
  3. Add the oil, a little bit at a time until the walnut butter binds together (about 5-10 minutes).

BANANA TOAST AND ASSEMBLY

  1. Toast the bread and spread Caramelized Walnut Butter on each slice.
  2. Mash the banana with a fork, then spread it on the toast and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Serve.
