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?

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??

      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!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
