Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or opt for almond butter for a unique twist)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional but recommended)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate coating)

1/2 cup granola or chopped nuts (for added crunch, optional)

Sea salt (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into rounds approximately 1-inch thick. Arrange the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.

    Spread the Peanut Butter: Take a small spoon or a butter knife and generously spread a dollop of peanut butter onto one half of the banana slices. Gently press a second banana slice on top to create a ‘sandwich’. Repeat this process until all banana slices have been paired.

      Freeze the Bites: Carefully place the assembled banana sandwiches in the freezer and allow them to freeze for 1-2 hours, or until they are solid. Freezing them well will help maintain their shape during the chocolate dip.

        Melt the Chocolate (if using): In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave using 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth with no lumps.

          Dip the Bites: After the banana sandwiches are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Individually take each bite and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off. If desired, immediately sprinkle granola or chopped nuts on top while the chocolate is still wet for extra texture.

            Add Sea Salt (optional): For an enhanced flavor experience, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over each chocolate-covered bite before the chocolate sets. This will elevate the sweetness of the chocolate and the creaminess of the peanut butter.

              Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-dipped bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them back in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate coating to fully set and harden.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer your Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Bites to an airtight container. These treats can be stored in the freezer for up to a month. When you're ready to enjoy, simply grab a few and savor this delightful combination of flavors and textures!
