A smear and a bite, a smear and a bite. Isn’t that how everyone eats peanut butter and banana? With a knife in one hand and a piece of fruit in the other, you scoop and swipe until the peel runs out…or the jar (whichever comes first). While there’s nothing wrong with that, a few extra ingredients can easily turn your favorite snack-time fare into soft-batch cookies.
