Chocolate-Dipped Banana Bites with Peanut Butter centers. Serve room temp or freeze for later. I love to freeze them without chocolate and eat after workouts.
Chocolate-Dipped Banana Bites with Peanut Butter
I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes! This is a go to recipe for the kids and I and it is so easy, really just takes minutes. Sometimes we use the recipe with chocolate (the kids love that) but other times I sneak a few for myself in the freezer (without chocolate) and have a couple recovery bites after the gym! Each banana makes about 7 bites (14 slices) so you can multiply or reduce as you need. We are pretty obsessed with Jif Creamy Peanut Butter (I mean who isn’t) but also consider a natural peanut butter if you are watching your diet/sugar intake. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 3 Bananas (1 banana makes 7 bites)
- 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Cup creamy peanut butter
- Decorating bag
- Bamboo skewers
Directions:
- Slice your bananas into 1/2″ pieces.
- Scoop your peanut butter into a decorating bag and cut the tip off the end.
- Frost the top of half of the banana with peanut butter and skewer another plain banana.
- Then skewer the peanut butter banana to sandwich the two together.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, heat your chocolate chips on 50% power for 2-3 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Hold the skewered banana bite, dip the side into the chocolate, place onto a piece of parchment paper, and into the freezer.
- After they’ve been in the freezer for 15 minutes they are ready to eat or you can keep them frozen for a treat later on.
Note: Also consider freezing these after you make them. I love them frozen (even without chocolate, they make a great after work0ut snack!)
