Ingredients

Scale

Banana Base

  • 3 bananas

Chocolate Coating

  • 3 dark chocolate squares (1 oz total)
  • ¾ tsp coconut oil

Toppings

  • 4 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tray: Line a small tray or plate with baking paper to prevent sticking and to make removal easier after freezing.
  2. Cut the bananas: Peel each banana, slice it in half, then cut each half lengthwise so that each banana yields 4 pieces.
  3. Melt the chocolate: In a small bowl, break the dark chocolate squares and add the coconut oil. Microwave for a few seconds and stir until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread about 1 teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter on each banana slice, covering the surface.
  5. Drizzle chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over each peanut butter coated banana slice, ensuring good coverage.
  6. Sprinkle coconut: Sprinkle approximately ½ teaspoon of shredded coconut over each chocolate-topped banana slice for added texture and flavor.
  7. Freeze: Place all the prepared banana slices onto the lined tray and freeze them for 1 to 2 hours until completely frozen solid.
  8. Store: Once frozen, transfer the banana snacks to airtight food containers and keep them stored in the freezer until ready to serve.
  9. Serve: Allow the banana snacks to sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure slices hold their shape when frozen.
  • Substitute crunchy peanut butter with smooth if preferred, or use almond butter for a nutty twist.
  • Dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao is recommended for a rich flavor and lower sugar content.
  • For a vegan version, ensure peanut butter and chocolate are dairy-free.
  • Store frozen banana snacks in airtight containers to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
  • Letting snacks defrost slightly improves texture and flavor release.
