Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 bananas (sliced)
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peanut butter (or another nut or seed butter)
- Sprinkles, if desired
Instructions
- Line a small baking tray or plate with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Slice the bananas into rounds.
- Add the chocolate chips and nut butter into a heat-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds, then stir to make a smooth mixture.
- Use your hands to dip 1 side of each banana slice into the chocolate, then place gently onto the parchment paper. Or, use a fork to coat each slice entirely and place gently on the paper. Top with sprinkles if using.
- Pop the tray into the freezer for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Serve.
Notes
- Store any leftover Banana Bites in a freezer bag in the freezer. This prevents the banana from browning. They are best eaten within a few days.
- Use yogurt in place of the chocolate for a lower-added-sugar option.
- Skip the nut butter and just use chocolate if desired.
- Try sprinkling with minced peanuts and coarse salt for a Snickers-like flavor.
