Ingredients

Base Crust

  • 1 cup almonds, pecans or walnuts or a mix
  • 1/2 cup dates, soaked at least 30 minutes and drained
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Banana Filling

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

Base Crust

  • Note: Place the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.
    Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicon muffin pan.
    Add all base crust ingredients to a food processor and process until mixture is sticky and well combined.
    Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your base crust.
    Press a tablespoon of the base crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and smooth out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon. Simply divide up the mixture between the 12 muffin cups.
    Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Banana Filling

  • Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.
    Add the bananas, coconut cream and honey to a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
    Place a tablespoon of the banana, coconut mixture into the muffin cups on top of the base crust and smooth out evenly as above and dividing the mixture up between the 12 muffin cups.
     

Chocolate Topping

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50% power with 30 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.
    Spoon around 1-2 teaspoons of melted chocolate on top of the banana filling on each of the 12 bites.
    Freeze until solid an hour or more.
    Store in freezer for up to 3 months and remove around 10 minutes before serving to soften a little before eating.
