Baked PB & J Banana Boats
Baked PB & J Banana Boats serves: 4 (1 banana boat per serving)
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Rest Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 medium bananas
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (28 g) unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup (74 g) fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup (67 g) fresh raspberries, torn or chopped if large
Instructions:
- Read through recipe and put all ingredients in your work area before starting your prep.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- On a sheet pan or large baking dish, place the unpeeled bananas on their sides. Bake for 15–20 min until banana peels have turned black. Let cool for at least 10 min before handling.
- Meanwhile, in a small dish, whisk together maple syrup and peanut butter until smooth. Set aside.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a slit down the center of each banana and gently pull apart the sides, forming a pocket. Fill each with peanuts, blueberries and raspberries. Drizzle with maple-peanut butter sauce. Serve warm.
Notes:
Storage tip: Leftover maple-peanut butter sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Make it nut-free: Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Omit peanuts or replace them with toasted sesame seeds or cacao nibs.
