This is one of my go to snacks when I am craving something sweet but “kind of” healthy. I tend to use firmer bananas because I prefer the texture. I keep my banana cups frozen to avoid the liquids from the banana turning my cups soggy. As bananas ripen, the starches in them convert to sugars, and they tend to lose some water content in the process. If you elect to refrigerate them you may want to see if ripe bananas make a difference- I have not experimented with this yet.

Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Cups are a delightful, easy-to-make treat. Perfect when you want a “kinda healthy” snack or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter

  • 1 Tbs coconut oil

  • 1 banana cut into 1/2″ slices (about 20 slices)

  • sea salt (I use pink Himalayan sea salt)

Directions

  • Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil using the double boiler method. You can do this by placing mason jar rings in the bottom of a pot filling with a few inches of water and putting in a glass bowl or jar creating a water bath. The chocolate goes in the bowl. Mix almost continuously until melted.
  • Spoon chocolate into greased cupcake tins, reserving about 1/4 cup. Then lightly press a slice of banana into chocolate. Soften peanut butter in microwave for about 20 seconds (or the same way you melted the chocolate) and scoop over bananas evenly. Top with remaining chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Freeze tray overnight, then pop them out into your desired freezer bag or container and store in the freezer.

Notes

  • 1. I like to let the cups sit out for a couple of minutes before I eat them because they are hard on my teeth.
  • 2. I tend to use firmer bananas because I prefer the texture. I keep my banana cups frozen to avoid the liquids from the banana turning my cups soggy.
