Bananas “foster” with nut crumble
Yesterday I admit, I was decided to take a few minutes and veg on the couch during the day. This is a luxury I allow myself every once in awhile. I was sitting there watching “Chopped” on Food Network, and all of a sudden I found myself in the kitchen inspired to make something seasonal with what I had on hand. I was craving a paleo – that is grain free- granola I had bought once at Whole Foods, but had put back the day before because I realized I could make that and save myself the money. So that was my inspiration.
This recipe is so easy, yet so good! You can use this nut crumble granola thing in the morning with a banana and almond milk, or maybe in some yogurt.
I don't eat ice cream, but you could definitely serve this over a scoop!

Instructions
- Preheat oven or toaster to 350 degrees. Prep cookie sheet with tin foil or parchment paper.
- In a large skillet melt the butter, then add the maple syrup and heat until mixture just starts to bubble.
- Add Chopped Nuts to skillet and maple syrup mixture. Toss to cover nuts - this is when you can tell if you need more maple syrup or butter.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and salt on the mixture and toss until combined, let heat in pan for a minute or two tossing to avoid burning.
- Transfer mixtutre to prepared cookie sheet, cook at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or so or until starts to brown, but not burn. Turn off oven and let sit to "dry out" again checking it is not burning.
- While topping is cooking make the bananas foster. Slice the bananas.
- In the same skillet you used for crumble melt the butter and maple syrup together and then add sliced bananas, toss to coat and heat.
- Put bananas in bowl, top with crumble and YUM!
