Ingredients
Scale
Banana Bites
- 3 bananas
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- Sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl, then heat for 30 seconds. Stir well, and repeat heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, approximately 1½ to 2 minutes total.
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately ½ inch thick rounds to create bite-sized pieces perfect for dipping.
- Dip Banana Slices: Using a fork, dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl to avoid clumps.
- Arrange and Season: Place the dipped banana slices onto a baking tray lined with wax or parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaked sea salt over the chocolate to enhance the flavor.
- Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the tray to the freezer and let the banana bites chill for at least 2 hours or until they are completely frozen and set.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas that are mostly yellow but not overripe to ensure the best texture and sweetness.
- Store the frozen banana bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.
