Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 medium banana
2 cup oats, dry
6 tablespoon peanut butter, all-natural
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons chocolate chips, dark

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch glass dish with parchment paper. (We also used our fingers to grease the sides of the dish with coconut oil.)
  • Mash the bananas and mix together with oats and peanut butter.
  • Spread the dough evenly in the prepared dish, then sprinkle with walnuts and chocolate chips. Lightly press the nuts and chocolate into the bars.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then slide a spatula under the parchment paper and carefully transfer the whole uncut bar onto a rack for further cooling. (You can cut the bars at this point, and eat them warm! The more time you give them to cool, the easier it will be to cut them.)

Everyone loves ice cream, but we all know it doesn't make a great after-school snack. Until this! With its sweet banana-almond flavor and chunky texture, this appealing banana peanut butter "ice cream" is a crowd-pleaser. People who ask me for the recipe can't believe how easy it is to make. -Kristen Bloom, Okinawa, Japan

These are my favorite go to snack "cake". Each serving fits perfectly in a snack size ziploc, and these freeze beautifully. I put one frozen in my lunch, and when I'm ready for it in the afternoon, it is thawed. Diabetic Exchanges per serving are: 1 Fruit, 1/2 Starch and 1/2 Fat. I am posting the recipe as written, but I always use Splenda. See note at the end of the recipe. Recipe is courtesy of Joanna Lund.

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA SNACK



Healthy Peanut Butter, Banana Snack image

I just came up with this recipe while trying to figure out what to do with some wheat germ I had. I must say, it's pretty tasty (although I love peanut butter on just about anything!!). This would be a good, healthy snack for kids. Wheat germ is a good source of Vitamin E and Folic Acid. * edit - I've just tried it using Grape Nuts cereal instead of the wheat germ and it is really good as well, so I am listing it as an optional ingredient. Of course the Grape Nuts are a whole lot crunchier than the wheat germ.

Time 5m

Yield 1 banana, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 banana
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons wheat germ
2 tablespoons Grape-nuts cereal (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the banana into bite sized pieces.
  • Smear the top of each slice with peanut butter.
  • Dip the peanut butter top into the wheat germ.
  • Enjoy!
  • * Or you could do like I did and peel the banana most of the way, take a butter knife and smear the top with peanut butter. Then dip it into the wheat germ and bite.
  • Repeat until all that's left is the peel. Hey, it's quicker that way. :).
