Cost: $4.12
Equipment
- Sheet pan (15" x 10")
Ingredients
Banana Chocolate Bites
- 3 bananas firm and ripe
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter plus extra for adding to bananas
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Banana “Sushi”
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 flour tortillas whole wheat, 8-inch
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup granola or miniature chocolate chips
- 2 bananas firm and ripe
Instructions
Banana Chocolate Bites
- Cut banana into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Place slices on a parchment-paper-lined sheet pan. Place about 1/4 teaspoon of peanut butter on the center of half the banana slices. Add the other half on top and press down gently to form a banana “sandwich.” Place in freezer 15–20 minutes.
- Add chocolate chips, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds, until chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Dip banana bites in the melted chocolate. I like to lay banana bites on the tines of a fork and spoon chocolate over. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl gently to remove excess chocolate and return to the parchment-paper-lined sheet pan. Repeat until all banana bites are dipped in chocolate.
- Place chocolate-covered bites back in the freezer until set, about 10–20 minutes. I like them cold but not frozen through. Best enjoyed within a few hours of being made.
Banana “Sushi”
- Spread peanut butter evenly over each tortilla. Drizzle honey (to taste preference) on top of peanut butter; sprinkle with granola or chocolate chips evenly over the tortilla.
- Place a banana in the bottom half of each tortilla. Roll up tightly, burrito style. Cut into one-inch pieces and serve immediately.
