Description

Delicious frozen chocolate banana bites with peanut butter that make a perfect healthy snack. These treats are freezer-friendly, customizable, and great for kids and adults alike.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Slice bananas into 1/2 inch thick rounds and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Top each banana slice with a small dollop of peanut butter.
  3. Place in freezer for 30 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt chocolate chips in microwave at 50% power, stirring frequently to avoid seizing. Ensure all utensils are completely dry.
  5. Stir honey or maple syrup into the melted chocolate.
  6. Dip each frozen banana bite into the chocolate mixture and place back on the parchment paper.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds before the chocolate sets.
  8. Return to freezer for at least 1 hour until completely firm.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Make sure all utensils are completely dry when melting chocolate to prevent seizing.
  • For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
  • For a vegan version, use dark chocolate chips and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • These treats can be customized with different toppings like coconut flakes, sprinkles, or crushed cookies.
