Ingredients
  

  • Once your peanut butter date caramel is ready the rest of this recipe comes together quickly. Here's exactly what you need.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter date caramel or natural peanut butter as a simpler substitute
  • 4 large bananas not overripe
  • 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 8 teaspoons crushed peanuts
  • Using bananas that aren't overripe genuinely matters here firmer bananas hold their shape better through the cutting and freezing process than soft spotty ones.

Equipment

  • This recipe keeps the tool list short and manageable. Here's what to grab:
  • Baking sheet (for freezing the banana pieces)
  • Parchment paper (prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy)
  • Sharp knife (for cutting the bananas into rectangles)
  • Microwave-safe bowl (for melting the chocolate)
  • Fork (for dipping the frozen bites into chocolate)
  • No stand mixer, no food processor required for the main assembly, just a knife and a baking sheet doing most of the work.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Prep the Caramel
  2. Prepare a batch of the peanut butter date caramel using the method above, then set it aside in a bowl.
  3. Step 2- Cut the Bananas
  4. Peel the bananas and cut each one into 4 even pieces or cylinders. Cut each piece in half lengthwise, then trim the sides to shape neat rectangles that resemble mini candy bars.
  5. Step 3- Prep the Baking Sheet
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it with coconut oil. Set it aside while you finish prepping the banana pieces.
  7. Step 4- Top the Banana Pieces
  8. Place each banana rectangle on the baking sheet. Top each piece with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter date caramel and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed peanuts.
  9. Step 5- First Freeze
  10. Freeze the topped banana pieces for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until they turn hard. This firm-up step is essential before dipping in chocolate.
  11. Step 6- Melt the Chocolate
  12. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each one, until completely smooth.
  13. Step 7- Dip in Chocolate
  14. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Hold one frozen banana bite with a fork and dip it into the melted chocolate to completely cover it. Return it to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces.
  15. Step 8- Final Freeze
  16. Freeze the baking sheet again for 15 minutes to let the chocolate shell fully set.
  17. Step 9- Serve
  18. Remove the bites from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to let the banana soften slightly for easier eating.
