Banana Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bars

November 7, 2013 by Hillary 11 Comments

It was bound to happen… another peanut butter recipe that is.

I needed – like had to immediately! – to use up the remainder of the sub-par PB loitering in my fridge.

Since I’m on a baking kick – can’t stop, won’t stop – I whipped up a batch of peanut butter bars.

I was completely ignoring the fact that I already have two dozen Cinnamon Sugar Peanut Butter Cookies in my freezer

… and that I really had no final destination for these bars… other than my mouth.

My favorite chocolate chips were on mega sale, so I took that as a sign to bake this recipe for no rhyme or reason.

Other than, once again, I am on baking binge.

The inspiration for this recipe came from Peanut Butter Runner. I tweaked her recipe, and then added a banana. With all of my (intuitive) sugar consumption of late, I counted on the banana to balance out some of the guilt… go figure, it tasted delicious, too!

    These bars sound great! I love using bananas as a natural sweetener, plus adding some chocolate chips is always good, too!

    You are making me feel like I need to pick up my baking! My only problem is if I baked this much, I would end up eating them all.

    I would be more than happy to help you clean out your freezer and your counter (or wherever you are currently storing these). I love peanut butter and banana and chocolate, so these have my name written all over them.

    Ohh, this is one of the PB recipes you spoke of…YUM!!! And I hate when I switch peanut butters (when I’m feeling all adventurous) and then the PB is “sub-par”…that’s the worst! Glad you used all of yours up! Now back to the good stuff!

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
