Equipment
- popsicle sticks
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (those with brown spots)
- 1/2 cup all-natural, chunky peanut butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- slivered almonds
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Then push a popsicle stick in the middle so it now resembles a popsicle. Do the same for all the banana halves.
- Arrange them in single layer on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Freeze it for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Prepare also your peanut butter. And you can heat it in the microwave or on stove-top with a little coconut oil if it's too thick. It's easier to coat the bananas if the nut butter is creamy and runny.
- Once bananas are frozen, take them out of the freezer then dip it first into the peanut butter about a third or half-way. Then dip the banana into the melted dark chocolate. You can use a spoon to coat the bananas nicely.
- Lastly, sprinkle some slivered almonds on the chocolate coated bananas. Place them back on the lined baking tray and stick into the freezer for another 30 minutes to freeze and set.
- You can let it out of the freezer for 5 minutes to thaw a little before taking a bite!
Notes
- Choose an all-natural peanut butter by checking the labels. It should only have 100% peanuts in it and no added sweetener. You can sub it with almond butter if you have peanut allergies.
- For the chocolate, I use at least 50-70% for that bittersweet taste.
