Banana Nut Brittle Recipe

Do you like crunchy sweet snacks? Who doesn’t? Brittle is a favorite by many people, and I’ve found a Paleo Banana Nut Brittle Recipe! There is no added sugar, it is made with all REAL ingredients, and it is darn good. 

Everyone loves a sweet and crunchy snack. This Banana Nut Brittle recipe has no added sugar, it is made with all REAL ingredients, and it is darn good.

At one of my favorite health food stores in Covington, Springs of Life, they sell this brittle. My dad and I bought it quite a few times, and I thought it may be cheaper for me to learn how to make it myself. They told me the Banana Nut Brittle Recipe came from Raw Freedom‘s Forum.  But first let me warn you, this stuff is addicting!

I made some brittle for my family’s recent Disney trip. It was quite a lifesaver when we wanted to pass up the processed snacks for our homemade ones. Dad and I would fight over the brittle! It’s that good!

Everyone loves a sweet and crunchy snack. This Banana Nut Brittle recipe has no added sugar, it is made with all REAL ingredients, and it is darn good.

Many people do not have a dehydrator, which is necessary for this recipe. If you don’t have one, you could invest in one. You can make many recipes with a dehydrator, like my Paleo BBQ Beef Jerky. If you’re from my area (Covington, LA), go try this brittle from Springs of Life.

      I haven’t used anything else! You could try almond meal but I am not sure it would work.

    if you do not have a dehydrator, nor room for one, is there any other way to get the job done? I am needing snacks on the go that are healthy to keep me on track, not getting hungry, reaching for whatever is available.

    thank you

    I used the fruit leather trays for first 12 hrs, then broke them into smaller pieces and finished drying on the tray like jerky. We are going to vacuum seal for my sons hike on the Continental Divide in April .
