Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1/4 cup nut butter (such as peanut butter or almond butter)
- 100 grams (about 3.5 oz) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Banana Slices: Peel the bananas and cut them into uniform 1/4-inch thick slices to ensure even coating and easy handling.
- Add Nut Butter: Using a small spoon or knife, spread a small dollop of nut butter onto each banana slice, covering the top evenly for creamy texture.
- Melt Dark Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Dip Banana Bites: Carefully dip each banana slice topped with nut butter into the melted dark chocolate, coating them thoroughly. Use a fork to lift them and allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set and Chill: Place the chocolate-covered banana bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately as a refreshing snack or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness during dipping.
- You can substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt on the chocolate before it sets.
- If dark chocolate is too bitter, you can use semi-sweet chocolate but adjust sugar intake accordingly.
