Notes

Tip
Use a blender or food processor to grind nuts into a coarse meal.
Variation
Substitute walnuts for whatever nuts you prefer.
Variation
Feel free to switch bananas for berries or even apples.
Storage
This dish will keep well in the fridge for up to three days but the bananas will take on a somewhat unappealing grey hue … just cover with more yoghurt or cream!
