  2. Beat together the butter or oil, eggs, sugar, applesauce, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the doughnut pans so it’s nearly to the top.

Great Summer Recipes
Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Smoothie in a clear cup with chocolate drizzle and chocolate chips on a wooden tabletop

I was fiddling around in the kitchen trying to find a way to make the smoothest smoothie. Some of them came out pretty rough around the edges but I think I’ve finally cracked it. My Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Smoothie is smoother than silk, finer than wine, and packed with JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter. If it was any smoother, you could skip it across a pond.

Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops with chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, Justin's honey peanut butter jar and two bananas

Contrary to what you may be thinking the “PB” in this Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops recipe stands for “perfectly blended (flavors)”. Ok not really, but that doesn’t make it untrue. This recipe is tasty and a great way to stay cool on hot days. I make them with JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter, fresh bananas, and decorate them with sprinkles. It’s a great project that you can make and eat with the kids!
