CRUNCHY MONKEY PEANUT BUTTER-BANANA STICKS

Steps:

• 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.

CRUNCHY FRIED PB AND J

Steps:

• Spread the peanut butter on 4 slices of bread and the raspberry preserves on the other 4 slices. Add the bananas and a nice pile of chips on top of the peanut butter slices; sandwich with the raspberry preserve slices.
• Place the eggs and cereal in separate shallow bowls. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip a sandwich in the eggs, then the cinnamon cereal, pressing down to make sure the cereal adheres to both sides. Repeat with the other sandwiches.
• In batches, fry the sandwiches low and slow until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and serve.

PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oiled griddle to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine milk and eggs; mix well.
• Add mashed bananas and peanut butter.
• Gently stir in Bisquik mix. Batter should be thin but not runny.
• Pour out scant 1/3 cup of batter onto griddle. (I cook 8 pancakes at a time on my electric griddle.)
• Once edges are dry and cooking side is golden brown, turn pancake and cook on that side until golden brown.
• Serve immediately.
• NOTES: These freeze very well. Thaw in microwave and serve immediately.
