Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

- 1. Peel bananas and slice into 1-inch rounds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Arrange half of the banana slices on the prepared sheet. Spread 1 teaspoon peanut butter on each slice.

- 7. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl, then place on parchment-lined sheet.
- 8. Immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts and a pinch of sea salt before chocolate sets.
- 9. Return to freezer for 30 minutes until chocolate is completely hardened.
- 10. Transfer to an airtight container with parchment paper between layers. Store in freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Allow treats to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating for best texture. Store in airtight container with parchment paper between layers. Can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut allergies.
