Banana Bread Truffles

A super simple recipe and a great way to repurpose leftover banana bread into a rocking snack or dessert!

Hi Friends!

This is not a recipe.

This is just a good idea.

There are no fancy photographs.

There are no exact measurements.

Just some snack time inspiration for you.

A fun way to use up leftover banana bread! Peanut butter, chocolate and bananas are a winning combination!

 

Leftover banana bread
+ nut butter
+ dark chocolate
=
Banana Bread Truffles.

Do it. 

Best guess: I used about 2 cups of crumbled banana bread, 2/3 cup of peanut butter and 1/2 a cup of melted dark chocolate chips.

Mix the crumbles and the nut butter together.
Form into balls.
Freeze for 30 minutes.
Dip in melted chocolate.
Store in the freezer.

Use your favorite banana bread recipe and your favorite nut butter. If your bread is drier, you may want to try adding a splash of milk when you’re forming the balls.

Enjoy!
–Lindsay–

    Can I just say how much I love the informality of this (recipe) I know, I know, you’re not calling it a recipe. Silly me.

    Just kind of throw it together and it will be delicious. I’m trusting you. Any food that a person with morning sickness can eat is good to go for me! I trust that person 100%

    It’s funny because if I ever posted this on my blog, I would say it was 100% a recipe. I would also probably brag about how it is a recipe. Anyways, it looks excellent.
