Ingredients
Scale
- Ripe bananas (firm but sweet)
- Natural peanut butter (smooth or creamy)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 170 g)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional but recommended)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside on a plate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Using tongs or a fork, dip each banana slice fully into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each chocolate-coated banana bite while still wet.
- Freeze the baking sheet for at least 1 hour or until chocolate hardens completely.
- Transfer frozen bites to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to serve. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes if too hard.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent browning and ensure sweetness. Coconut oil is optional but helps create a smooth, glossy chocolate coating. Work quickly when dipping to avoid banana slices softening. Store bites in an airtight container to prevent freezer taste. For nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
