Introduction

If you’re on a keto or low-carb journey but still crave something sweet and satisfying, these Keto Frosty Banana Bites are your perfect solution. Despite the name, real banana is not used in this recipe. Instead, we recreate the creamy, fruity flavor of banana using banana extract, allowing us to keep it low in sugar and keto-friendly. These bite-sized frozen delights are ideal for warm weather treats, post-workout snacks, or even a quick dessert without compromising your goals.

This indulgent treat is sugar-free, low in carbs, and uses healthy fats like coconut oil and almond butter. With a texture similar to banana ice cream and a chocolate shell coating, these little bites are not just keto-compliant but also satisfyingly decadent.

Ingredients

For the Banana-Flavored Filling:

  • 1 cup coconut cream (chilled overnight for thickness)
  • 2 tbsp almond butter (smooth, unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp banana extract (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (Lily’s or ChocZero)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Optional Toppings:

  • 2 tbsp crushed almonds or pecans
  • 1 tsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Sea salt flakes for garnish

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or blender
  • Silicone ice cube tray or mini muffin molds
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Freezer-safe container

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Banana Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut cream, almond butter, banana extract, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or blender to whip until smooth and creamy. The consistency should resemble a thick mousse.

Step 2: Portion and Freeze

Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Lightly tap the tray to remove air bubbles and level the surface.
Place the tray in the freezer for 2–3 hours or until the bites are completely frozen and firm.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Coating

In a double boiler (or microwave in 20-second increments), melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4: Dip the Frozen Bites

Once the banana-flavored bites are frozen solid, pop them out of the molds. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Freeze Again

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your desired toppings (nuts, coconut, or sea salt). Transfer the tray back to the freezer for another 15–20 minutes to harden completely.

Storage

These bites should be stored in a freezer-safe airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 1 month, though they rarely last that long! For best texture, let them thaw for 3–5 minutes before eating.

Pro Tips

  • No coconut cream? You can use full-fat cream cheese or mascarpone for a creamy texture.
  • Want a protein boost? Add 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla keto protein powder to the filling.
  • Make it nut-free by replacing almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Chocolate too thick? Add a little more coconut oil to thin it for easier dipping.
  • Banana extract is key. Real banana is not keto – the extract gives flavor without carbs.

Flavor Variations

  • Strawberry Frosty Bites – Use strawberry extract instead of banana.
  • Peanut Butter Chocolate – Use peanut butter instead of almond butter and skip the extract.
  • Mint Chocolate – Add a drop of peppermint extract and a few sugar-free chocolate chips inside the filling for a cool twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve as a light dessert after a keto meal, or enjoy 1–2 bites during a midday slump to curb sugar cravings. These are also excellent as a meal prep snack to keep on hand for sweet emergencies.
