🍴 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Prep the bananas 🍌
Peel and slice two ripe bananas.
💡 Use spotty bananas — they’re sweeter and easier to blend!
Step 2: Blend the bananas 🌀
Add banana slices to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
💡 Pulse rather than over-blending to avoid turning it into liquid.
Step 3: Grind the walnuts 🌰
In a clean blender, pulse walnuts until you get a coarse meal texture.
💡 Don’t over-blend or they’ll turn into walnut butter.
Step 4: Combine both mixtures 🥣
Mix the banana purée with the ground walnuts in a large bowl.
💡 Stir gently to keep a soft, chewy texture.
Step 5: Add a twist (optional) 🍋
Stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice if desired.
💡 Lemon enhances the freshness and adds brightness.
Step 6: Shape the bites ✋
Scoop small amounts of mixture and form into bite-sized balls.
💡 Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
Step 7: Chill to set ❄️
Place bites on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
💡 This helps them firm up and enhances flavour.
Step 8: Serve & enjoy 🥄
Enjoy them straight from the fridge or at room temperature.
💡 Best served with tea or coffee for an energy boost.
Step 9: Store for later 🧊
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
💡 They’re even better the next day!
Step 10: Share the love ❤️
Make a double batch and share with friends or family.
💡 Wrap them in parchment paper for a thoughtful edible gift.
