Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 Bananas (sliced)
Spreads and Nut Butters
- 4-5 tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter
Chocolate
- 100 g Dark Chocolate
Toppings
- 4 tablespoons Crushed Peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Slice the bananas evenly and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Spread Peanut Butter: Gently spread a thin layer of natural peanut butter on top of each banana slice, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Melt and Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave until smooth, then drizzle it over the peanut butter-coated banana slices.
- Add Crushed Peanuts: Sprinkle the crushed peanuts evenly over the melted chocolate to add a crunchy texture.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the banana bark to freeze for at least 1 hour until the chocolate hardens and the bark is firm.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent sogginess.
- Natural peanut butter works best for a smooth, nutty flavor without added sugars.
- Dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content is recommended for richer taste and antioxidant benefits.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- For a different twist, try adding dried fruits or a sprinkle of sea salt.
