Ingredients
Banana Base
- 2 to 3 bananas, sliced into rounds
Toppings
- ¼ cup caramel (or date caramel)
- ¼ cup runny peanut butter
- 2 to 4 tablespoons roasted peanuts
Chocolate Drizzle
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange the banana slices in a single layer, leaving a small gap between each slice to prevent sticking.
- Add Caramel and Peanut Butter: Drizzle the caramel over the banana slices, followed by the runny peanut butter, ensuring each slice gets a bit of both toppings.
- Sprinkle Peanuts: Evenly sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top of the caramel and peanut butter-covered bananas to add a crunchy texture.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over all the banana slices, covering them with the rich chocolate layer.
- Freeze: Place the sheet pan in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours or until the banana bites are firm and set.
- Enjoy or Store: Once frozen, enjoy the bites immediately or transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for storage and enjoy later as a cool, decadent snack.
Notes
- For a healthier alternative, use date caramel instead of regular caramel.
- You can substitute roasted peanuts with any other nuts like almonds or cashews for variety.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, ensure the chocolate chips used are vegan-friendly.
- Make sure to arrange banana slices with a little space to prevent sticking together when freezing.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
