Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif or Skippy brand)
- 11 ounce bag milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Peel and cut bananas into 1/2 inch slices.
- Line a baking rack or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then, spread out the banana slices into flat circles on the tray. Dollop about 3/4 teaspoon size of peanut butter onto the top of each banana slice. Freeze for 45 minutes. Note: I like to use a small baking rack instead of a cookie sheet because it's easier to fit into the freezer.
- Once the bananas have been in the freezer for about 40 minutes, prepare another piece of parchment paper about the same size as the first one and place on the countertop. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Remove the banana slices from the freezer.
- Work quickly when the chocolate is the perfect consistency and keep the heat on low if using the double boiler. Dip each banana into the chocolate, then place onto the parchment paper.
- Once you finish about 6-8 bananas, quickly sprinkle on a bit of sea salt before the chocolate dries.
- When you're finished dipping chocolate and sprinkling salt, place them back into the freezer for 1 hour before enjoying.
Notes
- Make sure to freeze the peanut butter bananas to attach the banana and peanut butter and make them easier to dunk into the chocolate.
- Work quickly with the melted chocolate or it will harden and be hard to dunk the bananas into.
