PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BARS (HEALTHY)



Peanut Butter Banana Bars (Healthy) image

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. :).

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small bananas or 1 medium banana
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2 teaspoons nutella or 2 teaspoons other chocolate hazelnut spread
1 teaspoon flax seed (can be omitted)
honey (see below) or chocolate, etc (see below)

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!
