Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe bananas
- 120 grams peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 150 grams chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 15 milliliters coconut oil
- 60 grams chopped walnuts
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should get about 24 pieces.
Spread a small amount of peanut butter on top of half of the banana slices. Use about 1/2 teaspoon per slice.
Top each peanut butter-coated banana slice with another banana slice to create a small sandwich. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Transfer the banana sandwiches to the freezer and let them chill for 10-15 minutes, or until firm.
In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the chilled banana sandwiches from the freezer. Using a fork or tongs, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off.
Place the chocolate-coated banana sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle each one with a pinch of chopped walnuts and a tiny bit of sea salt if desired.
Return the tray to the freezer for another 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Once set, transfer the Chunky Monkey Bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Serve straight from the freezer for a cold, delicious treat!
