Banana Soft Serve with Toasted Seeds and Nut Butter Topping

Good morning, friends. Monday afternoon I posted a picture on my instagram account of a rather extravagant snack. It involved banana soft serve, nut butter, maple syrup and sea salt. Many appeared to appreciate my concoction and Carly asked for a recipe, so today I decided to wake a bit earlier, update my previous mention of banana soft serve and scribe a recipe for Wednesday Breakfast Club.

Banana soft serve - what is that?

Well it's really just pureed frozen bananas, maybe with a dash of milk or yoghurt to help move things along. That's it. Banana soft serve (I hesitate to call it ice-cream as though it is creamy in texture it does tend to melt quickly like a soft serve) is outrageously simple and tasty, and after trying it once you'll surely insist on having bags of chopped, frozen bananas in your freezer at all times.

For breakfast today, I bedazzled my banana soft serve good and proper with toasted seeds and melted nut butter. Smooth banana cream with rich and sticky nut butter, slightly crunchy flaxmeal and certainly crunchy seeds, plus the sweet pop of syrup and salt. Oh, it was a treat.

Banana Soft Serve with Toasted Seeds and Nut Butter Topping

Serves one

Ingredients
1 frozen Banana
2-3 tablespoons Milk (any kind, eg: cow's or almond)
1 tablespoon Nut Butter (I used a blend of roasted almonds and cashews, similar to this recipe)
1 tablespoon Sunflower Seeds and Pepitas
1 tablespoon Flaxmeal (ground flax seeds, or LSA mix)
1 teaspoon Pure Maple Syrup
Sea Salt

Method
1. Toast the seeds in a non-stick pan over low heat for a few minutes until nice and toasty and slightly golden. Set aside.
2. If you nut butter is not drippy, melt it in a small saucepan over low heat, thinning with a tablespoon of milk and whisking as required. Set aside.
3. Puree the frozen banana in a food processor (adding 1-2 tablespoons milk as required) until smooth.
4. Spoon the banana soft serve mixture into a bowl and top with the flaxmeal, nut butter, seeds, maple syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt. 

Happy soft serve Wednesday!
