Chocolate Dipped Banana Bites

By:  Maria



These little bites of delight will satisfy the sweet tooth without sabotaging your nutritional endeavors.  They make a perfect little treat for your little ones after school or a holiday gathering.  With only 4 ingredients and vegan chocolate chips, you and your guests will enjoy every morsel.

Ingredients

2 large bananas

1/4 to 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand - tasty!)

1/4 to 1/3 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter for those with peanut allergy)

Unsweetened coconut flakes

                                                     

Set out a large plate with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it.

Cut up bananas into 1 inch chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces.

Microwave the peanut/almond butter and chocolate chips together on high for a minute. Then stir until smooth.  Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you’ve covered all of them, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops.  Sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top. Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened.
