Peanut Butter Banana Squares – vegan

Since I’m cutting down on sugar consumption, I try not to make sweets. I know myself. If I make it, I’ll eat it. But at the same time I hate to waste any food. So when I saw a few bananas that I forgot to freeze going dark and very ripe, I felt I had to rescue them. This is my creation with the use of the bananas. There are only three tablespoons of cane sugar in the whole batch. Sweetness in this squares also comes from bananas and peanut butter. So I don’t feel too guilty when I eat these; if I can stop myself after eating just one or two. The combination of banana, peanut butter, and walnut make these squares perfect for breakfast. Especially for someone like myself who needs breakfast-to-go during the week. But this satisfies my evening craving for sweets as well.

Peanut Butter Banana Squares (8.5×8.5 inch pan):
2 bananas
1/2 peanut butter
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons cane sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 cup chopped walnut

1. Combine all the ingredients.
2. Pour batter into a 8.5×8.5 inch pan lightly greased with canola oil.
3. Bake at 350F for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

バナナとピーナッツバターバー

砂糖を控えているので、なるべく甘いものは作らないようにしているのですが、食材を無駄にするのはイヤな性格。

で、皮が黒くなってきているバナナを発見して、急きょコレを作りました。

一応ヴィーガンで、砂糖も白砂糖じゃなくってきび砂糖。

ピーナッツバター、バナナ、そしてたっぷりの胡桃に、全粒粉入り、ということで、罪悪感はそれほどないのですけど、食べ過ぎには気を付けなければ。。。

2つぐらいずつ包んで朝食用にもっていこうと思ってま～す。
