CINNAMON-BAKED ALMOND BUTTER COVERED MATZAH TOPPED WITH RAW WALNUTS & CARAMELIZED BANANAS, anyone?
YES. YOU & YOU & YOU & YOU! I KNOW YOU WANT THEM!
In the spirit of Passover, get excited about indulging in this delicious baked matzah crack! It’s a super yummy but also nutritious snack that the whole family will DROOL over, ergo, you might want to double your batch!
–
BTW, if matzah ain’t your jam or you don’t celebrate Passover, you can use any & all gluten-free cracker of your choice! I used gluten-free matzah, but let’s be honest, matzah ain’t my cracker of choice all year round! This snack, on the other hand, I could settle for it, everyday! And TBH, it wouldn’t even really be settling… that’s how delicious it is!
I got inspired by traditional chocolate covered matzah, which I already have a recipe for on the blog: Beautiful Chocolate Covered Matzah Topped with Fresh, Crisp & Sweet AF Strawberries & Homemade Honey Roasted Peanuts a.k.a. Chocolate-Covered-Crack a.k.a. Peace-Out-Carbs-It’s-Been-Real & decided that since I have a legit obsession with nut butter these days, I’d give this baby a try without chocolate! Just raw almond butter, banana & raw walnuts!
Here’s how to make it!
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-3 sheets gluten-free matzah, cracked OR any cracker of your choice
- 3/4 cup raw creamy almond butter (or other nut butter)
- A pinch of sea salt
- 2 tbsp. pure organic maple syrup
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup organic unsweetened almond milk (start with 1/4 & add more if necessary!)
- TOPPINGS:
- 1/3 cup raw organic walnuts, crumbled
- Ceylon cinnamon
- 1 banana, sliced thinly
TO MAKE:
- Preheat the oven to 350F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the almond butter, sea salt & maple syrup to a mixing bowl & melt in the microwave at 30 second increments.
- Stir the mixture & add the almond milk. Stir until combined, creamy & smooth.
- Use a spoon or spatula to spread the almond butter on your cracked matzah pieces. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Top the matzah sliced with banana, walnuts & cinnamon.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until walnuts are toasted & bananas are caramelized.
- ENJOY!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container & refrigerate!
