Peanut Butter Banana Nutella Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9×12-inch glass baking pan. In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter and eggs until creamy. Blend in mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and blend for 1 minute. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Make frosting (recipe below) then ice banana bars. Heat desired amount of Nutella in a small bowl, then drizzle on top of bars. Serve warm or at room temperature. Peanut butter frosting recipe: Beat butter in a medium bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, the cream and vanilla. Gradually beat in remaining 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, beating after each addition until smooth.

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.

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!

Steps:

• Place peanut butter and nutella in microwave safe bowl and heat till melted (about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes).
• Pour all other ingredients in large bowl.
• Mix PB & Nutella with other ingredients and stir until well combined.
• Line a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil and then spray with cooking spray. Dump granola into 9x13 pan and spread until even and packed down.
• Chill for at least an hour. Cut into bar size portions and individually wrap in saran wrap and store in ziploc bag in fridge!
