I did the same for the almond meal by grinding up slivered almonds. 3. Mash up bananas with the back of a fork and place in a medium bowl 4. Add remaining ingredients (except dates and raisins) 5. In food processor place the soaked fruit with about 3 tbsp of the soaked water and pulse until a thick syrup is formed 6. Add the syrup to the wet ingredients and mix well 7.
