Out Of This World Banana Bread

I brought some of this banana bread to Crossfit a few months age, Dan, Jenn, Scott and I all indulged after our WOD. I wanted to share the recipe, maybe you can indulge after your WOD too! It is a good source of healthy fats after all...

Banana Bread

1 Large Ripe Banana

1 C. Almond Butter

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Vanilla

1/4 C. Honey

1/3 C. Walnuts

1 Egg

1 tsp. Cinnamon

Mix all the ingredients excluding the walnuts in a bowl until smooth

Make it look like this:

try not to eat too much batter=)...

Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch pan, sprinkle with the walnuts, and bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes or until they are firm in the center.

Cut and share with your fellow crossfitters, they will love you for it!

Homemade Almond Butter

Almond butter is delicious, but a draw back is how expensive it can be (not to mention hard on the old self control!) Have no fear fellow cavemen, I have a homemade alternative that costs only a fraction of the price and tastes even better because its fresh!!!

Almond Butter

1 C Almonds (you can toast them for an even better flavor)

1 tsp of a mild oil

1/2 tsp Sea salt

Take your almonds and put them in the food processor for about 3 minutes or until it becomes a solid paste. Add your salt and slowly drizzle in your oil and let it whirl for a few more seconds.
