Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2–3 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews – your choice)
- ½ cup dark chocolate (dairy-free or semi-sweet if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for smoother chocolate coating – optional)
- Sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)
How to Make Frozen Banana Snickers
- Slice the bananas:
Cut the bananas in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2–3 chunks depending on the size you want. You should end up with “banana boats.” - Add peanut butter:
Spread a layer of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. This is your “Snickers nougat” layer. - Sprinkle chopped nuts:
Top the peanut butter with chopped nuts. Gently press them in so they stick. - Freeze the banana pieces:
Place all the topped banana slices on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 1 hour or until firm. - Melt the chocolate:
In a bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil together (microwave in 20-second bursts or use a double boiler) until smooth. - Dip or drizzle:
Dip the frozen banana bites halfway in chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the top. Return to the tray. - Freeze again:
Place back in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until chocolate hardens. - Ready to eat:
Serve cold from the freezer for a chewy, sweet, and healthy dessert!
