Okay so it's not exactly a recipe, but I did this last night and it was so amazing that I had to share it.

- Cut bananas into slices (no more than 1/2" thick) and freeze overnight
- Put some peanut butter in a dish and heat in the microwave so that it's thin - I used natural peanut butter and put it in for two 30-second increments stirring in between (regular peanut butter might take longer)
- Drizzle peanut butter over frozen bananas

The peanut butter will harden again on the bananas, and the heat from it will thaw them slightly. The combination of taste and texture is extremely satisfying.

You're welcome!

    that sounds good. I sometimes dip a banana in peanut butter, but this could be a good option with a slightly different texture and temperature. I will try it.

    I am loving the whipped peanut butter right now. Less calories too! I have never tried peanut butter with bananas but will definitely try this one tonight :-)

    Food porn!

    PB2 is also not bad, for recipes like this. I have sliced a banana, sprinkled it with PB2 and a handful of chocolate chips, then baked it for a few minutes.

    Has anyone done the math on the calorie count for each slice? It sounds like a great snack.

    I found this recipe on the sidechef app, too! It's so good! They also do a great 'ice cream' recipe using frozen bananas

    I've never seen it here in Western Canada either.

    AND now I am on a hunt for it.

    Depends how much each slice weighs and the weight of the PB

    I just put my banana slices into the freezer. This is going to taste so good tomorrow morning.

    That is exactly what I thought when I saw the thread title! What kind of weird *kitten* Jimmy Buffett song is that?!
