Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Recipes

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a deep 9 by 2-inch pie plate.
• Drizzle the crushed vanilla wafers with the melted butter and stir until blended. Press on the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Pop in the oven and bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
• Toss the banana slices with the orange juice, making sure all the slices get coated. (This helps keep the bananas from browning.) Place the slices on a paper towel-lined plate and pat any excess juices dry.
• Arrange half the banana slices in a single layer over the cooled crust. Cover completely with the Chocolate Pudding, spreading it with an offset spatula or butter knife. Top with the rest of the bananas. Sprinkle the peanut brittle crumbs over the bananas. Place dollops of the Peanut Butter Cream on top, spreading it out evenly. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
• Whip the cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Whip in the almond extract and sugar until stiff peaks form.
• Take the pie out of the refrigerator. Place dollops of the whipped cream on top and spread it out evenly. Scatter pieces of peanut brittle on top and serve.
• Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder and flour in a bowl until there are no lumps. Crack the eggs into the bowl, add the yolks and whisk into a paste. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk until it is fully incorporated, and then whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk. Put the milk mixture into a saucepan and put over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until it starts to look like pudding, 10 to 15 minutes. It will begin to bubble and it will hold soft peaks when you lift the whisk out. Take off the heat and cool to room temperature.
• Beat the cream cheese and confectioners'sugar with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Add the vanilla and peanut butter, beating until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Working in batches, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream, fold a large spoonful of whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Fold in the remaining cream in 2 additions.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Mix chocolate, banana, cream, and peanut butter together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir mixture until melted (it may be partially lumpy due to peanut butter), 5 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until firm, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Scoop chocolate mixture with a melon baller and roll into 1-inch balls. Place confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl; coat truffles with confectioners' sugar and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 more hours.

CHOCOLATE BANANA PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN SHAKE

Steps:

• Blend ice cubes, milk, banana, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, and cocoa powder together in a blender until smooth.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Stir mashed bananas, peanut butter, brown sugar, yogurt, egg, and canola oil thoroughly in a separate bowl.
• Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined; stir in chocolate chips.
• Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is lightly browned at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Cool the bread in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes before removing bread to finish cooling on rack. Slice when cool.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• For the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the cake mix, oil, mashed bananas, eggs and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer or whisk until well blended, about 2 minutes. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Evenly divide the batter between the 2 prepared loaf pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool on a cooling rack.
• For the peanut butter glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of the warm milk in a bowl and whisk until smooth. It should be about as thick as pancake batter; if it's too thick, just add a little more milk.
• Pour some of the glaze over each loaf and let set for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE BANANA

Steps:

• Cut both tips off each banana. Lay bananas curved side down, and cut lengthwise through the top peel and banana, but don't go through the bottom peel.
• Divide the chocolate and peanut butter chips evenly among banans. Open the slit bananas into an open V and place the chips along the inside.
• Loosely close the bananas, and wrap each in a square of tin foil.
• Heat on medium-hot grill for 10 minutes, turning once.
• Remove from foil, place on dish bend side down. By now the inside of the banana and the peel should be soft enough that it will lay flat on a plate.
• Spray whipped cream over open side of banana. Eat straight out of the peel with a spoon.
