Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped roasted peanuts
  • Shredded coconut
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a baking tray or plate with parchment paper.
    Slice the bananas into rounds approximately ½ to 1 inch thick.
    In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, protein powder, vanilla and salt until smooth and creamy. If your peanut butter is particularly thick, add the optional maple syrup to loosen and sweeten the mixture.
    Spoon a small amount of the peanut butter protein mixture onto each banana slice (around 1 small teaspoon). I usually just eyeball this and put as much on there as seems will stay nicely.
    Place a tooth pick in each and place in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, or until the peanut butter layer has firmed up. 

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Carefully dip each of the banana bites into the chocolate so that the banana is mostly covered. I left the peanut butter part mostly uncovered but you can cover that as well if you wish.
    Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, coconut, cacao nibs or flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still melted, if desired.
    Place on a parchment lined plate and place back in the freezer for 10 minutes. I like to store mine in the freezer until ready to eat so that they are almost like a little ice cream bite.
    Store the bites in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. They can be enjoyed straight from frozen or allowed to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture.
