To Make Base

Line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
De-seed and pit the Dates and place them into a Food processor/blender along with the Walnuts, Oats, Cinnamon and Salt. Whizz up on high until a crumbly texture forms.
Firmly press around an inch of the mixture into each muffin case and pop it into the Freezer whilst you make the yummy Cheesecake layer!

To Make Filling

Drain the water from the Cashew nuts and place the nuts into a food processor along with the Bananas, Maple Syrup, Salt, Lemon Juice and Almond & Vanilla extract on high for around 5-10 minutes, or until smooth. There will be some texture due to the nuts but carry on blending until its a thick & creamy paste.
(Optional)- Place some Banana chunks on top of each base. This adds a extra secret & delicious layer of Banana!
