Ingredients
Scale
Banana Layer
- 2 medium ripe bananas
Peanut Butter Topping
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 3 tbsp chopped peanuts
- Sea salt, a pinch
Chocolate Coating
- 4 to 5 tbsp dark chocolate, melted
- ¼ tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into two parts, resulting in a total of 8 banana slices. Arrange the slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Apply Peanut Butter and Toppings: Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on top of each banana slice, ensuring it covers the surface fully. Sprinkle each with a pinch of sea salt and chopped peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Drizzle and Freeze: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-covered banana slices. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened completely, creating a delicious frozen treat.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and texture.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter and chocolate based on your preference for richness.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure the chocolate is vegan.
