Nutella-Peanut Butter Banana Bread Sandwich
Contrary to how sinful this sandwich looks like, it is actually not too sweet but yes, quite decadent for a midday/midnight snack because really it’s almost the same as eating a piece of cake, only you call this a sandwich which makes you still sound like you are still sticking to your daily dietary allowance.
My original evil plan was to whip up honey roasted peanut butter (from a jar) with orange marmalade (also from a jar) and schmear an unapologetic amount of that on slices of this banana-walnut bread, but when I opened the cupboard and saw the big jar of Nutella… well of course I instantly abandoned the jar of marmalade! I mean, what can be better than Nutella?… well, maybe a tub of melted Godiva milk chocolate to dip your whole self into.
“Anything is good if it’s made of chocolate” - Jo Brand and I concur and add, A banana bread was always a wholesome baked good until peanut butter was introduced to it, followed by Nutella. And the innocence and wholesomeness of this quickbread were lost forever. But oh my goodness, Elvis would’ve been so proud of this sandwich.

CHEWY SOFT BATCH PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA COOKIES
This cookie recipe is somewhat the offspring of a moist banana bread and soft batch peanut butter cookies.
I suddenly came up with this recipe out of the blue last night (at around 11:00 pm) and by midnight I gave birth to this baked brainchild of mine.
What makes these cookies soft and chewy are mashed bananas and oatmeal flour… I love the healthy special participation of oatmeal in cookies but sometimes I get bored with the texture and the time it requires of me to chew the darn rolled oats, so I took out my mini food processor and whizzed the oats into a fine but still decently coarse mill.
I am pretty proud of this recipe because these cookies turned out somewhat decadent than I’ve anticipated. It also did not hurt that my house smelled like cookies in the middle of the night. - Jeannie :)

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
1 cup *oatmeal flour or ground oatmeal
*(using a food processor, grind 1 cup + 2 tablespoons rolled oats, this yields 1 cup oatmeal flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (if you want to use chunky pb, it’s absolutely fine)
2 cups soft brown sugar (not packed)
2 tablespoons mashed banana
1/4 teaspoon banana extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven at 350’F. Prepare and line cookie sheets with baking parchment paper.

3. In another mixing bowl, beat softened butter, peanut butter, soft brown sugar, mashed banana, banana extract, vanilla extract and eggs.
4. Combine and mix the dry and wet ingredients together.
5. Using a small ice cream scooper, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets and bake cookies for 12-13 minutes or until cookie edges becomes light golden brown.
6. Cool cookies in cookie sheets for 1 minute and transfer onto wire racks to cool.
7. Store in a flat airtight container. Lay cookies flat and separate each layer with baking parchment sheets/wax paper.
Goddess of Scrump’s Note: You can absolutely add chocolate chips in this cookie recipe, Dark Chocolate Chips will be a devilishly scrumptious contrast with the pb and banana flavor of these cookies. Also these cookies are perfect to use for ice cream sandwiches, the ice cream of choice that will be perfect for these is Butter Pecan! :)
Makes 34-36 cookies
