ESPRESSO BANANA MINI TARTS

A recipe from Sami Bloom and Califia Farms

Makes 10 mini tarts

Ingredients:
Crust 1.5 cups rolled oats ground to a flour
¾ cup raw almonds
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
3 tbsp ground flaxseeds
6 medjool dates, pitted
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp sea salt
Filling 2.5 bananas
1/2 cup Califia Farms XX Espresso Cold Brew Coffee
3 tbsp arrowroot flour
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp sea salt

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 175 C.
2. In a food processor, blend oats and almonds until flour-like. Pulse in the rest of the dry ingredients.

3. Next, add in coconut oil and dates, blending until a dough forms.
4. Line a muffin tin with liners and press a ping-pong sized amount of crust into it, pushing in at the base and edges to form tarts. Pierce the base with a fork, and cook in the oven for 15 mins.
5. Meanwhile, make the filling by blending everything in a high-speed blender until smooth.
6. Once crusts are ready, fill them with banana espresso mixture. Return to the oven for a further 35-40 minutes. Top with crushed nuts, if desired.
