Ingredients for Banana Nuggets

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • Rice Krispies
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

How to Make Banana Nuggets

  1. Microwave 1/2 cup of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-60 seconds, or until smooth and semi-liquid.
  2. Slice 2 ripe bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  3. Dip each banana slice into the melted peanut butter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Immediately roll the peanut butter-coated banana slices in 1 cup of your favorite cereal (e.g., crushed Rice Krispies, crushed corn flakes).
  5. Place the banana nuggets on a plate lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the peanut butter to set and the cereal to adhere.
  7. Add your favorite mix-ins (mini M&Ms, shredded coconut, raisins, dried cranberries, etc.) before or after refrigerating, as desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
