TOTAL FIBRE: 43.5gm
FIBRE PER SERVE: 2.7gm

PREP TIME: 10min
FREEZE TIME: 30-45min

PLANT BASED INGREDIENTS: 4

INGREDIENTS
  • Softened Butter (6 Tbsp – I Like Lurpak)
  • Crunchy Peanut Butter (1½ Cups)
  • Stevia/Powdered Sugar (¼ Cup)
  • Red Tractor Green Banana Powder* (3½ Tbsp)
  • Vanilla Bean Paste (3 Tsp)
  • Chopped Walnuts/Almonds (1 Cup)

*It’s worth noting here, ‘Red Tractor Banana Powder’ is an Australian brand. I’m not sure where it’s available internationally. But if you can’t find a green banana powder, consider putting a soluble; tasteless & dissolvable fibre supplement powder in as the substitute. This will add fibre to the fudge without compromising the flavour. Wheatgerm & psyllium husk would work too. I like ‘Sunfiber’ which is endorsed by Monash University FODMAP.

HOW TO PUT TOGETHER / COOKING

In a baking dish 20cm x 20 cm (8inch x 8 inch) line it with baking paper/greaseproof paper.

In a saucepan melt the butter & the peanut butter. Combine well.

Take off the heat, add the sugar & stir while it’s still hot so the sugar dissolves.

Add the vanilla bean paste & the green banana powder.

Stir well to mix the ingredients evenly.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.

Scatter the walnuts evenly over the top & put in the freezer for about 45 minutes.
