Ingredients
- 1 large banana, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), melted
- Prepare the bananas: Slice the banana into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the nut butter: Spoon a small amount of nut butter onto each banana slice, spreading it evenly or leaving it as a dollop on top.
- Dip in dark chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each banana and nut butter bite into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is coated.
- Set and chill: Place the chocolate-covered banana bites back on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the bites to a serving plate or airtight container for storage. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and texture.
- Choose nut butters that are smooth for easier spreading.
- Ensure chocolate is fully melted and slightly cooled before dipping to prevent banana slices from melting.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or crushed nuts before the chocolate sets.
- These bites are best consumed within 2 days when stored in the refrigerator.
