Ingredients
Banana Layer
- 2 medium ripe bananas
Nut Butter Layer
- 4 tbsp peanut butter (or your favorite nut/seed butter)
Chocolate Coating
- 4–5 tbsp dark chocolate, melted
- 1/4 tsp coconut oil (helps the chocolate melt smoothly)
Toppings
- 3 tbsp chopped peanuts (or other chopped nuts/seeds)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the banana pieces from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Slice the bananas: Peel each banana and cut each one in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into two pieces, resulting in 8 long banana slabs total. Arrange these pieces evenly on the prepared tray.
- Apply peanut butter: Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly over the top of each banana piece, fully covering the surface for a creamy layer.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter layer, then add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the overall flavor.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring between each burst until the chocolate is fully melted and has a smooth, glossy texture.
- Coat the banana slices: Using a spoon or drizzle method, cover each peanut butter-topped banana slice with melted chocolate. For a full chocolate shell, you can dunk each piece into the chocolate.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 60 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened and set solid. Once frozen, your frozen banana Snickers are ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and soft texture.
- Dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa is recommended for a richer flavor and health benefits.
- You can substitute peanut butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice to cater to allergies or preferences.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to experiment with different nuts or sprinkle toppings to suit your taste.
