Equipment

Parchment paper or silicone mat
Baking sheet or tray
Small microwave-safe bowl (or use a double boiler)
Fork or dipping tool

Ingredients

2 large yellow bananas (ripe but firm)
1 ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (or chocolate pieces; dairy-free)
1 tsp coconut oil
2½ - 3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp finely chopped peanuts (unsalted, salted, roasted or raw work here - depends on preference)

Instructions

Prep the Bananas: Peel and slice the 2 large bananas into 10–12 even rounds each (about ¾ to 1 inch thick). Lay them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Peanut Butter: Spoon a heaping ¼ teaspoon of peanut butter onto each banana slice and gently flatten it into an even layer. Add as much or as little as you like! Once all are topped, place the tray in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully frozen.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1¼ cups dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
Dip the Banana Bites: Use a fork or dipping tool to carefully dip each frozen banana-peanut piece into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let any excess drip off before returning to the lined tray.
Top with Peanuts and Freeze Again: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each piece with a pinch of finely chopped peanuts. Return the tray to the freezer and let set for at least 2 more hours, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve or Store: Enjoy straight from the freezer!

Notes

Chocolate swaps

You can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate if not strictly dairy-free or that is made with oat milk. Chopped chocolate bars work just as well as chips—just melt slowly to avoid burning.

Nut butter options

Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter all work beautifully here. Just make sure it’s thick enough to spread and hold its shape when frozen.

Topping ideas

Try shredded coconut, flaky salt, or crushed freeze-dried raspberries instead of peanuts for fun variations.

Banana ripeness

Use bananas that are yellow with no brown spots—too ripe and they’ll be mushy after freezing.

Storage tips

Once fully set, transfer the banana bites to a sealed container or reusable bag and keep frozen. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 weeks but are best enjoyed within the first week for ideal texture.

Serving tip

Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating if they feel too firm straight from the freezer.
