Ingredients

  • teaspoon smooth almond butter raw
  • medium banana ripe
  • tablespoons topping (recipe below)
  • servings cinnamon 
  • teaspoons cocoa powder 
  •  medjool dates pitted chopped
  • tablespoon walnut pieces crushed chopped
  • 0.5 cup water boiling

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking pan
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. Remove one sheet and place it on a cutting board or other work surface.
  2. Place one peeled banana along one of the narrow ends,
  3. Sprinkle the dough evenly with a fourth of the walnuts.
  4. Sprinkle the banana with a dusting of cinnamon and then roll it up in the phyllo.
  5. Place it seam-side down in the baking dish. (If making in single-serving dishes, cut wrapped banana in half and place halves in dish side by side.) Repeat with remaining bananas. Give the tops of the wrapped bananas a quick (1/2 second) spray with canola oil.
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until tops are golden brown and bananas have begun to sizzle and release a syrup. To serve, cut bananas in half and place two halves on each plate, along with some of the banana syrup from the baking dish.
  7. Drizzle with about a tablespoon of Chocolate Sauce. For best results, serve immediately.
