Fudgy Banana Truffles

June 25, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 25 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I have been so good at eating clean and eating healthy the past couple of months, that all of a sudden my body said enough’s, enough, girl you need some chocolate!!   One thing I have learned is you should listen to your body!  If your full, stop eating, if you think your hungry drink some water first, if your tired sleep, well my body said chocolate and I must listen to it!!  After all your body tells you what you need if you train it properly!

Fudgy Chocolate Banana Truffle

So this past Sunday, I listen to my body and whipped up the most fudgy, chocolaty treats I could think of without undoing all of my hard work.  These are my banana chocolate truffles.  They are made with a sweet over ripe banana, nutty almond butter, stevia, coconut, cocoa powder and almond flour.  Oh man do these satisfy my sweet tooth!  They are so moist, yet firm enough to hold its shape and the taste, it’s like a chocolate covered banana with a hint of almond.  I am in pure bliss!!

Fudgy Chocolate Banana Truffle


I do love my balls (he he) and I love making treats that are no bake and easy to put together without a lot of ingredients.  Since it’s been pretty hot here, 90’s, turning on my oven to make cookies was not an option.  Even when it’s in the mid 70’s my Husband says don’t turn the oven on, so these truffles were a perfect to make on a hot day.

Fudgy Chocolate Banana Truffle

When making these be warned!  You get chocolate palms!  I showed my family and starting chasing them around the house with dirty, ugly black palms.  lol  I’m a weirdo!  But anyway, the dough is pretty soft, but as I said it still holds it shape.  After rolling my balls, I put them in the refrigerator to harden up a bit.  Took my pictures for you, then stored them in the freezer.  They are just as soft in the freezer because of the fat from the almond butter and a banana never really freezes solid.  Hmmm, I wonder why that is?

Fudgy Chocolate Banana Truffle

Yum, yum, yum!  As I was writing this, I just had to eat a couple more truffles.  If you like bananas and chocolate, these are the truffles for you!!  I really love that they don’t freeze hard!  They will be a great treat that will last me at least a week!!  Unless my Husband takes them!!  he better not, if he knows whats good for him!!!

Have a lovely Tuesday and remember today is the last day to enter my LuckyLeaf giveaway!  

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Hi – if you don’t care for coconut, do you need to substitute something else? Love chocolate and banana! thanks, Merrie

      Hi, the coconut helps it stick together. I would think finely chopped almonds may work to. Or just add more almond flour. Just mix it in a bit, until the mixture sticks together. It will be a soft sough, but will hold its shape. Hope this helps. (sorry for the wording earlier, I typed it from my phone and auto correct made it sound funny, lol)

    I’m not sure how eating clean precludes chocolate – at least good, dark chocolate. The eating plan we are on is clean eating, and it allows chocolate, wine, beer and even hard liquor – in reasonable amounts. I’m glad you are listening to your body and giving it what it really wants. That will save you a lot of heartache. I agree completely that you can train your body & that if you listen to it, you will take good care of it. This recipe sounds really awesome (even though I really don’t like over-ripe bananas). At some point I will have to try it. It just sounds too good! 🙂

    Could I substitute the almond flour with coconut flour??

    Reply

      June 25, 2013 at 7:57 PM

      Almond flour is a tad thicker than coconut flour, I am almost afraid that coconut flour maybe to fine, but I’m not sure. I’d say give it a shot to see how it goes. Hey, how about oat flour? If you have a 1/2 cup oatmeal, ground it up in a coffee grinder or food processor and I think that would work out good because it’s thicker. Let me know what you end up doing.

    they look great and lots of times when I try to make things like this with a fresh banana (rather than dried banana leathers), I end up with a total sloppy mess or I have to add so much cocoa powder, etc to dry it up that I wind up making like 4 dozen truffles, not intentionally. You nailed these!

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
