Ingredients:
- 2 medium bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (preferably natural, unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (choose sugar-free or low-sugar varieties for fewer points)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (to help with melting the chocolate)
Instructions:
- Prepare the banana slices: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the peanut butter: Using a small spoon or piping bag, place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. Gently press down to help the peanut butter stick to the banana. You can also slightly flatten the banana slices to create more room for the peanut butter.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the banana bites: Using a fork or spoon, dip each banana slice (with peanut butter on top) into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Return the chocolate-covered banana bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze: Once all banana bites are coated, place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and the banana bites are frozen solid.
- Serve: Once frozen, enjoy these chocolate-covered peanut butter banana bites straight from the freezer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a few weeks.
