Frozen Chocolate Banana Nut Balls

It's getting hot in here, so let's make some nut balls! I am getting so hot, I'm going to make some nut balls.
I made a version of these when Cary and Meri came over for dinner, but this recipe is more elegant, smoother, less sweet. You can always add some honey or maple syrup to these. Taste as you go, that's what I do.
Frozen Chocolate Banana Nut Balls

• 1 cup sprouted and dehydrated almonds and cashews
• 1/4 plus 1/8 cup raw cacao powder
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 tap vanilla extract
• 1 banana

So what I did was put the nuts and coconut in my ninja blender with the cacao powder and blended for a while until it was pretty smooth. Then I added the coconut oil and vanilla and blended again until it was almost the texture of nut butter. Then I added the banana and blended until that was, well, blended. Taste for sweetness. You might want to add some honey if you want a sweet treat.
Then I lined a plate with parchment paper and scooped out balls using my mini ice cream slash cookie scooper. Make them not too big is my advice, since they really take a while to eat. Then I popped that plate into the freezer until they were good and frozen. Then I ate a bunch. Yum!

Banana Pancakes

I wake up hungry. I seem to be the only one in my house to do so. Breakfast is important to me. So important that I often pre-breakfast if we are going out for brunch. I have issues, blood sugar issues. Other issues too but we can get to those later.

This is my recipe for Banana Pancakes. They are easy, adaptable, malleable, and don't really taste like bananas. This serves one person. Also they are more like crepes in texture but Banana Crepes sounds snobby.

Blend the following until smooth:

1 banana
3 eggs
1 splash vanilla extract (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
1-2 tbsp cashew or other nut butter (optional)

Pour onto a greased up hot skillet on medium heat and wait until bubbles appear and the edges look dry then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Serve hot or save for later and eat cold.

Great with bacon or spread with nut butter or yogurt or fruit or you get the idea.

Sometimes I substitute cooked sweet potato for all or part of the banana. Sometimes I throw in a handful of almonds to add some texture. Sometimes I make the pancakes small and sometimes I make them big. Don't worry about it too much.
