Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread

May 6, 2020 Amanda Plott

Everyone is all into banana bread right now. And I’m over here like… normal banana bread can be boring. Let’s jazz it up a bit with something extra special. Peanut butter and chocolate. Hell. Yes. This Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread is about ad decadent seeming as banana bread can come. The batter is made with a touch of peanut butter and then mini peanut butter cups are mixed in for added amazingness.

The batter itself is lightened up by way of plenty of mashed banana and some greek yogurt too. There’s also no actual sugar used in this bread. It’s made with natural sweeteners and blends. The end result is a light, fluffy, rich and delicious breakfast bite that is sure to impress…

Granola Cups

I've been looking to make breakfast a little more interesting and fun round here lately while I've got my little one home for the summer. Ugh! I can't believe she's about to be a big first grader. Anyway, these cute little granola cups were the perfect way to do that! They're cute, and little, and so easy to make!

What I love about these cups is that they are so versatile. You can use them as mini pie crusts, fill them with yogurt and/or fruit (like I did) for breakfast, or even as the base of a tart or other sort of dessert. I'm thinking mini cheesecakes!

By the way, did I mention that they are also vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free? Yep, yep, and yep! These little cuties definitely hit all the right notes. If all that isn't convincing enough, there's also chia seeds in them too; adding super crunch and even more texture...

Skinny Chicken Lettuce Wraps

It's Take-Out Fake-Out time again!

Anyone who has ever been to any asian inspired restaurant will know what these are. It's something that I will always order from one of my favorite asian eateries. Chicken lettuce wraps have become a staple at such restaurants and for good reason too! These perfectly crisp and tasty lettuce cups are light enough to be served as an appetizer and yet filling enough that you could eat them as a meal.

They are rather versatile too! If you're wanting more heat, add some chili sauce or Sriracha. Need some more salt? Add in a touch more soy sauce.

I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive at trying my hand at these. My dad had made these a handful of times several years back, and to my recollection it took almost an hour of him dicing and slicing ingredients. Yikes! These though? Nothing like that!...
