Ingredients
Scale
Banana Slices
- 2 medium ripe bananas
Toppings
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts
- Sea salt, a pinch
Chocolate Drizzle
- 4 to 5 tablespoons dark chocolate, melted
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Cut bananas into bars: Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into two parts, resulting in a total of 8 banana slices. Place these slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread peanut butter on banana slices: Evenly spread peanut butter over each banana slice, ensuring they are fully covered. This adds a creamy texture and rich flavor to the frozen treat.
- Add peanuts and sea salt: Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the peanut butter layer to add crunch. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the flavors and balance sweetness.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle chocolate over banana slices: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the prepared banana slices, coating the peanut butter layer and peanuts.
- Freeze the banana Snickers: Place the baking sheet with the prepared banana slices into the freezer. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate has hardened and the bananas are firm.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness but avoid overripe as they may become too mushy.
- For a vegan version, ensure the peanut butter and chocolate are vegan-friendly.
- Chopped peanuts can be substituted with other nuts like almonds or cashews if preferred.
- Store leftover banana Snickers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- The coconut oil helps the chocolate harden nicely after freezing, but can be omitted if preferred.
