"Unbelievably Healthy Almond Butter Banana Fudge"

Raybug0903

I made this recipe tonight and it was super easy and tasty:

Unbelievable Almond Butter Banana “Fudge”
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup almond butter
1/8 to 1/4 cup of raw honey
1/2 of a banana, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract

Place all the ingredients in a small pot. Heat over low heat until things get melty, about 30 seconds. Blend with an emulsion blender until the mixture is smooth. Alternately a food processor would work and you can skip the melting process but blend for longer.

Pour into a small 3 x 5 mini loaf pan lined with parchment paper or pour into silicone molds. Allow the mixture to cool in the freezer or fridge into solid. Slice into small 1 inch by 1 inch squares or slices. Because of the coconut oil, these will melt if not kept in the fridge or freezer.

The only problem I had with it was its texture. I felt like I was eating a block of solidified oil (it contains coconut oil, so that's where it came from) and it threw me off. The taste was great, but I just couldn't get past the texture. It wasn't "fudgy" at all. Anyone else have issues with the texture of coconut oil in certain recipes?
