Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (preferably natural, without added sugar or oils)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (choose a variety with at least 70% cocoa for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth chocolate)
- Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions:
- Prepare the banana slices: Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or tray in a single layer.
- Spread peanut butter: Take a small spoonful of peanut butter and spread it onto the center of half of the banana slices. Top with the remaining banana slices to form little “sandwiches.”
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the banana bites: Dip each peanut butter banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s evenly coated. Return each bite to the parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze: Once all the bites are coated in chocolate, place the tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the bites are frozen through.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the bites are frozen, they’re ready to enjoy! You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
