A couple months ago I was lucky to be included in a project the National Peanut Board was making with various food bloggers. Just this month the 24/7 Energy Recipe Resource project has been printed and released and I got a few copies to flip through. The book is filled with peanut facts, ways to snack and recipes that incorporate peanut butter into every meal. Come to think of it I’m sure there have been days when I’ve had peanuts at every meal but never with such a range of flavors and unique ideas for using them.
My recipe contribution was peanut butter granola. I love that and need to make it again sometime, but before that I wanted to try some of the other recipes in the book. One of the simplest and most appealing I could find was for a peanut butter banana quesadilla. The recipe calls for whole wheat tortillas but I swapped those out for corn tortillas to easily make it gluten-free.
It was delicious. I never would have thought to put cinnamon with peanut butters and bananas but the flavors totally worked. I would probably add a drizzle of honey next time because the peanut butter I used had no sugars added to it. Otherwise this was a great snack and there are plenty of soup, sauce, and dessert recipes to try to fill the other 23 hours of the day.
The National Peanut Board gave me plenty of prizes to share the love of peanuts around. I have a duplicate prize pack of one that I received featuring a recipe booklet, apron, cocktail shaker, notepad, peanut spreader and (of course) peanuts as well as 2 extra recipe booklets to give away, so I’ll randomly pick 3 winners from the comments.

i seriously could probably add peanut butter to anything. i love the stuff. i’ve put it on panini’s, added peanut flour to make a sweet egg scramble, but seriously, simple peanut butter cookies sometimes are the best too.
home made peanut butter power balls are one of my recent obsessions. you can literally add whatever you want to them!
i would LOVE this cookbook, all that peanut butter has me drooling already.

A recipe!: I’ve been eating this salad of Romain lettuce, arugula, carrots (grated), cucumbers (very thin, made with a carrot scrapper), purple cabbage, Trader Joe’s Spicy Peanut Salad Dressing, roasted chicken and diced roasted unsalted peanuts almost every day! I love it and it’s very filling and gives you energy for a long time.
