Ingredients
Banana Base
- 3 bananas
Chocolate Topping
- 3 dark chocolate squares (1 oz total)
- ¾ tsp coconut oil
Additional Toppings
- 4 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare Tray: Line a small tray or plate with baking paper to prevent the banana slices from sticking while freezing.
- Slice Bananas: Peel each banana and cut it in half. Then cut each half lengthwise to create 4 pieces per banana, totaling 12 pieces.
- Melt Chocolate: In a small bowl, break the dark chocolate squares and add the coconut oil. Microwave for a few seconds until melted, then stir thoroughly to combine.
- Apply Peanut Butter: Spread about 1 teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter onto each banana slice.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over each peanut butter-coated banana slice.
- Add Coconut: Sprinkle approximately ½ teaspoon of shredded coconut on top of each slice for texture and flavor.
- Freeze: Arrange the banana slices on the prepared tray and place them in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until fully frozen.
- Store: Once frozen, transfer the banana snacks into food containers and keep them stored in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Serve: Let the frozen banana snacks sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before enjoying to soften slightly.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter and coconut to taste or dietary preferences.
- Ensure the chocolate is completely melted before drizzling to coat evenly.
- Store snacks in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
- These make a great quick dessert or a healthy snack alternative.
