- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- ALMOND BUTTER: (makes about 1.5 cups)
- 2 cups almonds
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
If making the almond butter homemade:
Roast 2 cups of almonds in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. Let cool on a plate. Once cooled to room temperature, add the almonds, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the Vitamix. Then, using the tamper tool the entire time to push the nuts down into the blades, blend the nut mixture for several minutes until the mixture turns into nut butter.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Mash the banana with the nut butter until smooth, then stir in all other ingredients until well-combined. Shape into cookies and bake on silicone baking sheet for 15 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire baking rack.
Melt the white chocolate discs in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and put back in for another 20-30 seconds if needed, then stir again.
Once cooled, top cookies with fresh fruit. Drizzle each cookie with the melted white chocolate. Store the cookies in the refrigerator.
