Ingredients You’ll Need

This simple recipe only requires a handful of ingredients, most of which you probably already have at home!

Base Ingredients:
• 2 ripe bananas – Sliced into ½-inch rounds.
• ½ cup almond butter – Creamy or crunchy, whichever you prefer!
• 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips – Optional, for dipping or drizzling.
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil – Helps the chocolate melt smoothly.

Optional Toppings:
• Crushed nuts (almonds, peanuts, or walnuts)
• Flaky sea salt (for a sweet-salty contrast)
• Shredded coconut
• Hemp seeds or chia seeds

How to Make Banana Almond Butter Bites

Step 1: Slice the Bananas

Peel your bananas and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices uniform so they freeze evenly.

Step 2: Add the Almond Butter

Take one banana slice and spread a small amount of almond butter on top. Then, place another banana slice on top to create a little sandwich. Repeat with all the banana slices.

💡 Tip: If your almond butter is too thick, warm it slightly to make it easier to spread!

Step 3: Freeze the Bites

Place your banana almond butter sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 4: Dip in Chocolate (Optional but Recommended!)

If you want an extra indulgent touch, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave (stirring every 20 seconds). Once melted, dip each banana bite halfway into the chocolate and place it back on the baking sheet.

Step 5: Add Toppings & Freeze Again

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on your favorite toppings—crushed nuts, sea salt, or shredded coconut. Then, freeze for another 30-60 minutes until fully set.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Once they’re frozen, transfer them to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer. When you’re craving something sweet, grab one (or two)!

Storage Tips
• In the Freezer: Store banana bites in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
• In the Fridge: If you prefer a softer texture, you can keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days—but they’ll get mushy over time.

💡 Tip: If they’re too hard straight from the freezer, let them sit out for 2-3 minutes before eating!
