This is an easy recipe for peanut butter banana chips. You can make them overnight in a food dehydrator.
My kids love the combination of peanut butter and bananas. I can’t blame them, I love it too. We toss peanut butter and bananas into smoothies, sandwiches, and even oatmeal. With a little help from my food dehydrator, there is also one more way we enjoy this combo: Peanut Butter Banana Chips.
Peanut Butter Banana Chips are so easy to prepare you won’t mind if your kids help. The instructions are a breeze and you can forget about them in your dehydrator overnight. These chips are great to include with school lunches or toss them in a diaper bag when you’re on the go.
Peanut Butter Banana Chips Recipe
This peanut butter chips recipe only uses 2 ingredients. It makes 2 ½ to 3 cups of banana chips.
Ingredients:
- 5 bananas
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions:
- Peel and slice your bananas into coins about 1/4 inch thick. Be sure to check here for ideas on how you can reuse all of your peels.
- Combine the bananas and peanut butter in a container with a lid.
- Place the lid on the container and give it a good shake until the banana slices are coated with the peanut butter. If the peanut butter is too thick and not mixing well, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water.
- Remove the individual slices of banana from the container and place them on the dehydrator trays. Leave space between so they are not touching.
- Dehydrate at 160° for 8 hours.
- Remove from the dehydrator and store in an airtight container.

How long do these keep before they go bad?

Can I use the “just peanuts” peanut butter? (no sugar or salt?)
Gabriele E Ford says
I made some and they are addictive. Should the bananas get crisp or do they stay chewy?
Than you

Would this work with sweet potato instead of banana? And does anyone know if you are able to mix two different items together for dehydration? Like puree sweet potatoes and apples and combine the two to make a sweet potato apple treat?

I think this is how “fruit leather” aka homemade fruit roll-ups are made, but I personally haven’t made them. You might want to look it up. I’m new to dehydrators but I’m super happy I made the investment.
Jill Wilcox says
Are they done when they are crispy? Or will they crisp up afterwards

Bake in oven on 200 tell crispy. Works just as good as a dehydrator.
