Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- ¼ cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Enhancing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Topping Ingredients:
- ¼ cup crushed nuts, granola, or sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Craft the banana pillows by gently spreading creamy peanut butter across half of the banana slices, then tenderly crown each with a matching slice to form petite, luscious sandwiches.
- Transform chocolate chips into a silky elixir by carefully melting them alongside coconut oil, using brief microwave intervals and stirring diligently until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Immerse each banana sandwich partially into the molten chocolate, ensuring a graceful, partial coating that showcases the banana’s golden edges.
- Embellish the chocolate-kissed treats with an optional sprinkle of crushed nuts, granola fragments, or delicate sea salt crystals for textural intrigue.
- Transfer the decorated morsels onto a parchment-lined tray, then usher them into the freezer’s embrace for approximately half an hour, allowing them to solidify into a delectable, frosty indulgence.
- Once firm, these chocolate-enrobed banana sandwiches are ready to be savored immediately or preserved in an airtight sanctuary within the freezer for up to two weeks of sweet convenience.
Notes
- Opt for ripe bananas with a few brown spots for maximum sweetness and easier spreading of peanut butter.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars for a healthier version of this snack.
- Choose dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor and potential antioxidant benefits.
- Customize toppings based on dietary needs or preferences, such as using dairy-free chocolate for vegan options or almond butter for those with peanut allergies.
