Peanut Butter Banana Nutella Bars Recipes

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BARS

Steps:

• 1. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, with overhang on all sides. 2. Process the wafers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. (You should have 1 1/2 cups crumbs.) Add the confectioners' sugar and salt and pulse until well mixed. Add the butter and 3/4 cup peanut butter and pulse, scraping the bowl occasionally, until evenly moistened. 3. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on top and press in firmly. Freeze until set, about 30 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, combine the chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a heatproof bowl. Set over a saucepan of simmering water and melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Pour over the banana layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle the peanuts on top and gently press into the chocolate mixture. 5. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Lift out of the pan with the parchment overhang. Cut into 2- by 1-inch bars. Bars can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

3 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BARS

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.)

FROZEN PEANUT-BUTTER AND BANANA BARS

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, process cookies until crumbs form. Add butter; pulse until mixture holds together when squeezed. Prepare crust as directed below. Bake until crust is firm and dry to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Make the filling: In a clean food processor, process cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, peanut butter, and salt until smooth and light, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
• Peel bananas; halve lengthwise. Spread half the cream-cheese mixture over crust; top with a snug layer of bananas. Cover with remaining cream-cheese mixture, smoothing top. Sprinkle with peanuts; cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.
• To remove, wipe outsides of pan with a hot towel; run a knife around inside edge (between paper and pan). Gently pull on paper to lift out of pan. Cut into 12 rectangles.
• Make the crust:Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line it with 2 crisscrossed rectangles of parchment paper.Press crust firmly into bottom and slightly up sides. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or small bowl to help pat crumbs in evenly.

EASY HEALTHY BANANA PEANUT BUTTER NUTELLA SANDWICH SNACKS

Steps:

• Slice banana into little disks, about 1-1.5 cm thick.
• Mix the remaining ingredients, and dab the mixture onto half of the banana slices.
• Top each banana slice with a peanut butter mixture one, squishing together like a sandwich.
• Poke each mini sandwich with a tooth pick if you desire, or if you are serving at a banquet, pot luck or lunch-in.
• Fun Ideas: Pop these in the microwave for a couple of seconds to warm the peanut butter and nutella---heavenly!(though make sure not to put them in for too long -- they break apart) To make these kid friendly, poke the toothpick through a mini marshmallow (colourful ones are more fun!) before poking through the banana. or, you can melt some chocolate and add to the peanut butter nutella mixture or drizzle it on top! I've also tried sprinkeling the tops with cinnamon, or drizzeling with honey, they are great too!
