Ingredients:
2 large ripe bananas
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles
Instructions:
Prepare the Bananas:
Peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. Place the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
Spread Peanut Butter:
Using a small spoon or knife, spread a thin layer of peanut butter onto half of the banana slices. Top each peanut butter-covered slice with a plain banana slice to create a “banana sandwich.”
Freeze the Banana Bites:
Insert a toothpick into each banana sandwich to create a handle. Place the banana bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Coat the Banana Bites:
Remove the frozen banana bites from the freezer. Using the toothpick as a handle, dip each banana bite into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the banana bite back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings (Optional):
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles over the chocolate-coated banana bites before the chocolate sets.
Freeze Again:
Once all the banana bites are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chocolate is set, remove the banana bites from the freezer and serve immediately. Enjoy these delicious frozen treats as a satisfying snack or dessert.
