Can someone help me out with a recipe to make these at home. It’s peanut butter banana and a very small amount of chocolate chips. Just don’t know what to mix with the peanut butter to thin it down a bit? I think they are $6 a bag so trying to make them cheaper
Trying to keep it healthy. Can I use Greek yogurt to thin the banana and peanut butter then freeze or refrigerate them. Budget $10

Mash banana and peanut butter together with peanut butter powder and powdered sugar and add chocolate chips. Roll it into a log inside plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut into slices
When you combine the banana and peanut butter together, it will be thin. The powdered sugar makes it more solid. You don’t need to thin out the peanut butter

Warm peanut butter is thinner, I’d smash bananas first then I’d warm up my peanut butter 15-30 seconds at a time in the microwave til runny and add slowly and mix thoroughly until you get the ratio you want.

Why not add chickpeas? Dirt cheap when batch cooked from dry, still very cheap when canned.
Add some banana and riff off of this recipe. https://cupcakesandkalechips.com/sweet-peanut-butter-dessert-hummus/ I make this recipe with canned chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup (likely banana would replace this) and soymilk to thin it enough to blend in a food processor. Take your time in the food processor, it takes a while to blend smooth. Freezes great.

I wonder if you could use the chocolate peanut powder version instead of the plain peanut butter powder.

Usually the ingredients list is a good starting point, especially if you know that it’s listed descending order by weight.

Ingredients: Date Paste, Peanut Butter (Peanuts, Sugar, Peanut Oil and Salt), Peanut Flour, Banana Puree (Banana Puree, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid), Wheat Flour, Sugar, Strawberry Puree Concentrate, Soybean Oil, Tapioca Flour, Natural Flavors.
So here’s my translation and maybe where I’d start. Keep in mind that I’d probably adjust for taste and texture along the way:
1/2 cup date paste
1/2 cup PB
1/4 cup of PB powder (or almond flour, coconut flour..)
puree one banana (with a squeeze of lemon juice) then add little by little until it “seems” right.
1-2 Tbsp of wheat flour, again, add little by little until the texture seems right. I’m guessing this is to dry out the banana and bind the mix.
sugar to taste (because, sugar) or honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, etc…
creep up on some chocolate chips OR some finely chopped dried fruit (you may need to hydrate a bit in warm water)
1-2 tsp of neutral oil, because oil carries flavours
tapioca is probably for binding so maybe just work with the other dry ingredients
pinch of salt
Other flavours: cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, pumpkin spice, whatever…
Mix it all up and see how it tastes. Adjust from there. Are these things baked or just raw dough? Never heard of them.
