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 Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
