Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe but firm bananas
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or classic)
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (dark, semisweet, or milk)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or neutral oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for finishing)
  • Optional add-ins: crushed peanuts, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles
  • Equipment: baking sheet, parchment paper, fork or dipping tool, microwave-safe bowl (or double boiler)

Method
 

  1. Prep the tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure it fits in your freezer.
  2. Slice the bananas: Peel and cut bananas into 1/4- to 1/2-inch rounds. Thicker slices hold up better and feel more indulgent.
  3. Make mini sandwiches: Place half the banana slices on the tray. Add about 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter to the center of each slice. Top with another banana slice to make a sandwich. Press gently to secure.
  4. Quick freeze: Freeze the banana sandwiches for 20–30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes dipping easier.
  5. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Or melt gently over a double boiler.
  6. Dip the bites: Using a fork, dip each frozen sandwich into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the parchment. Work in batches so the bananas don’t thaw.
  7. Add toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with flaky sea salt or your chosen add-ins. This adds crunch and visual appeal.
  8. Final freeze: Return to the freezer for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  9. Serve: Enjoy straight from the freezer for the best texture. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes if you prefer a slightly softer center.
