Peanut Butter Banana Bars

Monday, March 25, 2013

I've always been fascinated by the combination of peanut butter and bananas. Honestly, though, I have been a bit skeptical about that pairing. It just seemed like an odd combination. To decide once and for all if I'm a peanut butter/banana supporter, I made these bars with a big dose of each. The verdict? I'm in.

We are all guilty of throwing out food. Those leftovers you thought you'd eat. That mystery container well past its due date. But, I have a hard time throwing out bananas. Overripe bananas can be the beginning of far too many good things to let them go to waste. This weekend, I found myself with several super-ripe bananas and took to the internet to find something a little different to do with them. That's when I found these bars.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that banana bread is the search term that brings more people to Bake or Break than anything else. It's a commonly searched-for recipe, and I just happen to have a long-standing love affair going on with banana bread. Recently, I received a copy of Lindsay Landis' and Taylor Hackbarth's new book, Breakfast for Dinner. I have to type that carefully, because the Southern girl in me so wants to type "supper" instead.

Ah, banana bread. I feel bad for it sometimes. As much as I like it, it's usually an afterthought. I never plan to make it.

This bread is quite generous in the chocolate department.

I hope you'll forgive me for consecutive chocolate chip cookie recipes. Like I said earlier this week, I just never grow weary of variations on the classic. These cookies are a hybrid of two fabulous things - banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. The bananas add flavor and some sweetness. The oats add some chewiness. And, of course, pecans add their own awesomeness. They are moist and chewy and quite delicious.

Hummingbird Cake is one of my favorite cakes. I don't make it often because it's just too dangerous to have around. There's something magical about that combination of bananas, pineapple, cinnamon, and cream cheese that is hard to resist. In a recent issue of Southern Living, this slight twist on the traditional Hummingbird caught my eye. I immediately saved the recipe, putting it near the top of my to-bake list.
