Creamy and Cool: Cinnamon, Almond Butter Banana Paletas

Since the beginning of summer vacation, it’s become part of our weekly routine to trek down to Santa Ana, CA and indulge in a paleta at La Michoacana.  Their paleta flavors are very similar to the flavors in the paleterias, or popsicle shops in Mexico.  From pecan to lime and Tajin and esquimales (Eskimo Pies).  All the the flavors from my childhood. All except one… banana.

The banana craving has become stronger and there is non to be found. Something had to be done. I decided to take matters into my own hands and make banana paletas at home.  But not just any banana paleta… a layered paleta of banana, almond butter and cinnamon.  If you are a fan of creamy and nutty paletas like me, these are the ones for you!
