Chocolate Banana Bites
Ingredients:
-
2 large bananas
-
1/4 to 1/3 cup dark chocolate (>70%)
-
1/4 to 1/3 cup natural peanut butter (organic) or almond butter
-
Unsweetened coconut flakes
Directions:
-
Set out a large plate or bowl with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it.
-
Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces.
-
Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave/or on stove for about a minute. Then stir until smooth. Careful not to burn—burnt pb is iiiick.
-
Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you've "covered" them all, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops (for even more chocolate-y goodness).
-
Then sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top. Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened.
-
You can enjoy them like this (but they aren't completely frozen yet -- and when they're frozen, the banana is creamy and tastes like vanilla ice cream).
Warning
These melt fast while eating….though that’s not usually a problem for me ha.
