Ingredients
- 2 cups California walnuts
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup freeze-dried bananas
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg, to taste
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt, to taste
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Spread walnuts on a baking sheet in an even layer. Toast for 20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a small pan over medium heat, melt butter. Continue cooking until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add the toasted walnuts to a food processor along with the freeze-dried bananas, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until the mixture begins to break down and become smooth.
- Add in the browned butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Continue blending for several minutes (about 8–10 minutes total), scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy like a nut butter.
- Transfer to an airtight jar. Store at room temperature for several days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
