Nutella Peanut Butter and Banana Turnovers

These super simple Nutella peanut butter and banana turnovers are the perfect weekday dessert. From start to finish ready in just 25 minutes. Hello dessert!

Nutella, peanut butter and banana turnovers…say that five times fast!  No really…try. It’s not that easy.  Want to know what else is not that easy? Resisting the urge to eat them all. It was horrible. There they were. Sitting in my kitchen calling my name “Brandy….you know you want to eat me….”  It was horrible. I almost resorted to covering them in dish soap after I took pictures of them.  I figured the dish soap would stop me from eating them….

If you’re a Nutella purest you could leave out the peanut butter but I think the two pair lovely together.  I had a couple bananas laying around so I decided to throw them in the turnovers.  It was a very smart decision.   Trust me on this – nutella, peanut butter and banana mixed together is delicious.  You should probably run into the kitchen and make this right away. You will thank me 🙂
