Preheat the oven to 300°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the bananas and pitted dates in a food processor and blend on high until smooth.
Add Teddie Smooth Peanut Butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.
Blend until smooth and well combined.
In a large bowl, toss together the oats, nuts and hemp seeds.
Pour the banana/date blend on top and mix until the oat mixture is well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the lined cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes of baking, take the granola out of the oven and use a spatula to flip and mix the granola to ensure even baking.
Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes.
The granola should be golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature on the cookie sheet before transferring to a storage container. (Important to let cool for crunchy granola!). Enjoy!

instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim off the ends of each banana and slice the bananas into about ⅛-¼” thick slices (you should get about 10 slices per banana).
Put the slices on the prepared baking sheet and place in the freezer to set for a few minutes.
Put the dates into a bowl and cover them with very hot water.
Set aside for 15 minutes, or until soft.
Remove dates from the water and add to a blender along with 2-4 tablespoons of the date liquid.
Blend on high until smooth.
Start with 2 tablespoons of date liquid and add more as needed.
Remove banana slices from freezer and top each slice of banana with 1 teaspoon of Teddie Peanut Butter, followed by ½ teaspoon of the date caramel. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
Once bananas are frozen, melt the chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well.
Once smooth, add the coconut oil and mix well.
Dip each frozen banana bit into the chocolate.
Transfer back to the baking sheet.
Top with chopped peanuts.
Freeze for another 1 hour.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
