1/2 cup chunky style peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey, a couple of drizzles

1 cup fancy granola with nuts and raisins

2 large bananas

4 ice cream sticks or chop sticks

Heat the peanut butter in the microwave on high for 20 seconds to loosen it, then stir honey into it. Place the granola into a food processor and lightly process to crush up the granola, nuts, and raisins. Peel and cut each banana in half across the middle. Insert a popsicle or chop stick into the cut end of each half-banana. Spread 1 side of each banana stick with 1/4 of the peanut sauce then coat liberally with spoonfuls of granola, gently pressing it into the peanut butter. Eat the bananas right off the sticks, but serve on a plate to catch the crumbs.

Loved This!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

THis was such a great recipe. I used reduced fat peanut butter and ate it off a plate instead of the sticks. I used Vanilla... Almond Crunch Granola which was excellent. I dont understand how people can complain about this recipe, banana's turned brown, messy..give me a break! I had no problems and it satisfied my craving! Will definitely make again and again..

Love Crunchy Monkey with a Twist
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For years I have made peanut butter/banana/honey sandwiches by smashing it all together with a fork then spreading the "goop"... on bread. After seeing Rachel's recipe with granola, I decided to try a less messy method. I made the "goop" as usual, but instead of bread, I spread it on a granola bar. Easy to eat and yummy!!!Read more

So easy and makes a great afternoon snack
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are terrific! I saw the episode and sent my husband out for popsicle sticks. Super easy to make and very filling. I... love the peanut butter/honey combo and will use the previous reviewer's idea of putting it on apples, because it does make more than you need for the bananas. The only thing I changed was the method of coating the bananas. Instead of using a spatula to spread the peanut butter on, I warmed up the peanut butter in a shallow dish and just rolled the banana in it. Much easier and you get better coverage. Then I rolled them in the granola. Yum! I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to enjoy them.Read more

So nummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really liked these. I didn't put them on sticks, and I don't think it needed that much granola, but oh they were so good!
