Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Blondie Tart

Someone recently asked me what my guilty pleasure food is.  You might be surprised when you hear it was not cake, or ice cream or French fries...it was peanut butter.  Yes peanut butter.  I could eat a whole jar if I could.  That stuff is so addictive.  Luckilly though I am satisfied with a few Tbsp at a time and don't have to resort to the jar.  Stuff you can buy is good, but I make my own.  Eric recently bought some store bought, then asked me if I would make him some because it was just not as good as mine.  I make mine with just peanuts and salt most of the time.  Sometimes raw jungle peanuts, and sometimes organic roasted peanuts.  So good.  When I had a hankering for blondies last weekend, I decided that they would have to include peanut butter too.

I was actually making banana blondies, and since bananas, peanut butter and chocolate chunks are friends, it worked.  I made them in a tart pan, just to be different and a bit more elegant.  Plus bigger pieces because I was in that kind of mood.  You can cut them as large or as small as you like if you make it though, I won't judge.  It was delicious with the peanut butter, giving it that happy flavor that I so much love in just about everything.  These are fast to make too, so you can make them and eat them in under an hour! They are best warm of course.
