Calling all Peanut Butter and Chocolate Lovers who enjoy the fluffy banana bundtlets! These gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free bundtlets are so fetch!
Source: Huffington Post
Yes, we are going there because this recipe makes fetch happen!
So don’t be a Regina George and say it can’t happen because it’s happening!
One bite of this will tug at your heartstrings and stun you!
…But in a good way…you know like when you see that special someone ya fancy make eyes at you
…just like that 😉
I admit when I was trying the batter I thought it was promising, but when baking gluten-free there is never a realm of certainty you enter because when you are using other flours they can either be a hit or a miss and it’s about a 50/50 shot of both.
Luckily, the main ingredients to make this most gluten-free and dairy-free bakers will have them on hand.
Get Those Bundtet Pans Ready!
You’ll need some bundtlet pans, that can be found on amazon or really anywhere online. I linked the ones I used here. I used silicon ones as these can be cleaned by the dishwasher and therefore not cleaned by me…
To make this you’ll need:
Gluten-Free all-purpose flour
Organic Local Honey
Coconut Flour
Powdered Peanut Butter
Natural drippy peanut butter
Ripe Bananas
Vanilla Extract
Dairy-free chocolate chunks
I can’t decide what I like more about these…The taste or how adorable they are!
Keep in mind you can use a standard muffin tin as well.
Where’s That Drizzle?
You can create this yummy drizzle by making my Protein Collagen Icing recipe and adding 1-2 Tbsp of cocoa powder and 1/2 Tbsp more of milk.
It is optional as these bundtlets are good on their own, especially when they are warmed up and the chocolate pockets slightly melt. That my friend is the perfect time to enjoy these!
However, if you are craving something a bit sweeter pairing my drizzle may do it for your sweet tooth.
You’re of high society so treat yourself to something that fits into your lush life and allows you to unwind in your palace. These Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bundtllets are perfectly-portioned and are a great go-to snack!
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
3Ripe bananas
1cupNon-dairy milk
3eggs
5TbspDrippy natural peanut butter
3TbspOrganic honey
1/2tspVanilla Extract
Wet Ingredients
3/4cupall-purpose gluten free flour of choice
1/4cupCoconut flour
1.5TbspPowdered peanut butter
1tspBaking soda
2tapBaking powder
2scoopsvegan protein powder
3TbspDairy free chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray 12 mini bundtlet pans with non-stick spray.
Mash the 3 ripe bananas and add them into a large bowl with the eggs, non-dairy milk, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and give it a good mix!
Sift all dry ingredients into the bowl and combine. The dough should be thick enough to clump a whisk if you put it in the mix, and if it is too drippy add more flour, if it’s too dry add in more almond milk.
Chop the chocolate chunks into smaller pieces. This will make little shards of chocolate dispersing them across the entire mix and not in just one place. When done pour into the tins about 3/4 of the way full and bake for 25-30 minutes.
When complete let cool for 5-8 minutes and bon appetite!
Notes
This may be made vegan by subbing the eggs for flax eggs and the honey for maple syrup.
Long gone are the days of spongy gluten-free snacks that fall apart in your hands.
Say hello to the new and improved fluffy banana bread filled with sweet honey and coconut sugar, making for a perfectly sweet banana bread that will unfold with flavor in your mouth.
To make this banana bread I highly recommend using a gluten-free all-purpose flour that contains xanthan gum and has a mix of brown rice flour and tapioca or arrowroot starch.
These flours will make the banana bread very thick and will add the texture of gluten into the recipe, without actually adding in any wheat flour.
Because let’s be real, we’ve all had a gluten-free treat before, possibly a muffin or a bread that had a texture similar to a kitchen sponge…
I know what you’re thinking…
It’s TRAGIC!
And NO ONE wants to eat something that tastes like that, so opt for a quality gluten-free all-purpose flour, even if it means spending a little more at the grocery store. I suggest using Bob’s Red Mill 1-for-1 baking flour or King Arthur’s all-purpose gluten-free flour.
Additionally, for sweeteners, I recommend using a mix of Honey and coconut sugar as this will yield a naturally sweet banana bread and will complement the sugar from the bananas well.
Feel free to decrease the amount of coconut sugar or honey in the recipe if your bananas are very spotty as you may not need the amount the recipe calls for.
When it comes to the vegan chocolate chips feel free to add more or as much as your heart desires!
I fear I commit a Cardinal sin of using less as I am not much of a fan of chocolate so I tend to not add as much as the average chocolate lover.

Add all the dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips into a large bowl and mix until there is no clumps. If the batter is too thin, add more coconut flour, and if it’s to thick add a dash of water or non-dairy milk.

Cut into 9 Hefty Slices
Notes
You May be able to sub the eggs in this for flax eggs and sub the honey for maple syrup to make it vegan.
I bet you’d never guess these birthday cake vegan truffles are…packed with Da Da Daa…
9 grams of protein!
Have I made your mouth water yet?
PS. If you didn’t know that was the goal.
Where does this delicious protein come from you may ask? Why that would be the amazing powdered peanut butter from The Lion’s Choice.
The powdered peanut butter is not only vegan but also has sprinkles in it, and tastes amazing of course!
Honestly, could it get any better when it comes to gluten-free and vegan deliciousness?
One of the many things I love about this truffle recipe is how simple it is. Once the ingredients are added into a bowl and formed into balls the only other step is to make the chocolate coating while the truffles set in the freezer.
Luckily, most of the ingredients you will likely have on hand in your pantry if you’re a gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan baker.
Along with some sea salt, but other than that you’re ready to get baking!
Well, no-bake baking that is…
How Do I Make That Vegan Chocolate Shell?
To make this yummy chocolate coating all you need is your favorite natural drippy peanut butter and vegan chocolate.
When coating the peanut butter part of the truffle I recommend using a toothpick to dip the truffles in the coating and twist them until the truffle is fully covered. Once the truffle is fully covered with the chocolate place the truffle on the parchment paper and take the toothpick out of the truffle, using another toothpick to hold down the truffle while you take the toothpick out to assist you if necessary.
After removing the truffle sprinkle a dash of sea salt on the top of it before returning these truffles to the freezer as this will add a savory element to the chocolate before tasting the sweetness of the chocolate and peanut butter middle, creating a perfectly sweet and salty truffle.
Sift the powdered sugar, almond flour, and powdered peanut butter in a medium-sized bowl and combine.
Add non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt slowly into the medium-sized bowl. Your batter should be thick enough to roll into your hands but no stick to it. If your batter is too thick add more milk, if the batter is too wet, add in more powdered peanut butter by the Tablespoon until it thickens up.
After the peanut butter truffle dough is thick enough form the dough into Tablespoon-sized ball using your hands. After you’ve created 8 dough balls store them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
While the truffles are setting in the freezer, take the vegan chocolate and cut it into smaller bits. Once the chocolate is broken up into smaller pieces add it into a small microwave-safe bowl and with the peanut butter and microwave for 30-second increments, stirring the chocolate with a fork. Repeat this until all chocolate is melted (this took me a little over 2 cycles).
Take the truffles out of the freezer along with a few toothpicks. Using a toothpick to dip the truffles in the coating and twist them until the truffle is fully covered. Once the truffle is fully covered with the chocolate place the truffle on the parchment paper and take the toothpick out of the truffle, using another toothpick to hold down the truffle while you take the toothpick out to assist you if necessary.
Store back in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. When they are done give em a try and then store them in an airtight container in the freezer to enjoy later…or eat the entire batch you do you.
