Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 6 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise to create two long banana halves per fruit. Alternatively, slice them into thick rounds for bite-sized portions if preferred.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter over each banana half. If using slices, smear a small amount of peanut butter on each slice.
Place the shredded coconut on a plate or shallow bowl. Gently press the peanut butter-coated side of each banana into the shredded coconut to coat it evenly.
If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey over the coconut-draped bananas for added sweetness.
Optionally, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bananas for a fancier touch.
Serve immediately as a snack or light dessert. Enjoy the creamy, nutty, and tropical flavors!
