Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe bananas

⅓ cup peanut butter

½ cup dark chocolate chips

2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

Select a baking sheet that can fit in your freezer (I use two quarter sheet pans). Line the baking sheets with parchment paper. Then set aside.

Peel and slice the bananas into ¼ inch thick rounds (40-60 slices). Set the banana slices on the baking sheets. Place ½ teaspoon of peanut butter on top of half of the banana slice, then place the remaining banana slice on top. You will have around 20-30 bites depending on the size of your banana. Place bites on the two parchment lined baking sheets place in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the banana is frozen solid.

Once banana bites have been in the freezer for an hour, melt your chocolate. Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and microwave in additional 30 second increments, stirring after each interval until chocolate is completely melted.

To dip the bites in chocolate, remove the frozen banana bites from the freezer. Dip the frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate so that half of the bite is coated, scraping the bottom side of the banana bite on the edge of the bowl. Place the chocolate covered bite back on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining banana bites. Place the baking sheets back into the freezer to harder for about 15 minutes.

Enjoy straight out of the freezer or let thaw for 2-3 minutes before enjoying! Store the frozen bites in freezer safe containers for up to 1-2 months.
