Why This Recipe is Awesome

Why are these little bites a total win?

First, it’s ridiculously simple—no baking, no stress.

Second, the combo of banana + peanut butter + chocolate is basically the holy trinity of snack perfection.

And finally, they’re perfectly portioned, so you can enjoy one (or six, no judgment) without breaking the calorie bank.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 medium ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, your call)
• 1/4 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil (helps chocolate drizzle smoothly)
• Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips

Pro tip: The riper the banana, the sweeter the bites, no added sugar required.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the bananas: Peel and slice bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Add peanut butter: Spread a small dollop of peanut butter on each banana slice. You can sandwich two slices together for double the indulgence.
3. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
4. Drizzle or dip: Use a spoon or fork to drizzle chocolate over the banana bites. If you’re feeling fancy, dip half of each bite in chocolate for extra drama.
5. Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for 30–60 minutes, until chocolate is firm and bananas are chilled through.
6. Optional toppings: Sprinkle with shredded coconut, nuts, or mini chocolate chips before chocolate fully sets for added texture.
7. Serve & enjoy: Pop a bite straight from the freezer for an instant treat.

How to Serve

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping parchment paper: Chocolate sticks faster than you think.
• Melting chocolate too hot: Overheated chocolate can seize—stir gently.
• Not freezing long enough: You’ll end up with gooey bites instead of frozen perfection.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Chocolate variations: White chocolate or vegan chocolate for different flavor profiles.
• Toppings: Chopped nuts, freeze-dried berries, or a pinch of cinnamon.
