Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large firm, ripe bananas (about 240g total)
  • 2-3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • to taste sea salt flakes (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: mini pretzel pieces, shredded coconut, chopped dates

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the bananas and slice them into thick coins, about 1/2 inch each (you should get 16-20 coins).
  2. Arrange banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they do not touch.
  3. Freeze banana slices for 15-20 minutes, until firm but not rock hard.
  4. Remove from freezer and spread about 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter on each banana coin.
  5. Sprinkle each with chopped peanuts and a pinch of sea salt (if using). Add optional toppings if desired.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth (about 45 seconds total).
  7. Drizzle melted chocolate over each banana bite, or dip the tops for a thicker coating.
  8. Return the tray to the freezer for 30-60 minutes, until chocolate is set and bananas are frozen solid.
  9. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture. Enjoy immediately and store leftovers in a freezer-safe container.

Notes

Use firm bananas for the best texture. Experiment with different toppings like shredded coconut or mini pretzel pieces. Be careful not to over-microwave the chocolate; stir after each burst to avoid burning.
