Delicious Frozen Banana Snacks: A Healthy & Easy Treat for Any Occasion
These frozen banana snacks remind me of summer afternoons at my cousin’s house, where we’d sneak into the freezer for a cold, chocolate-dipped bite. They were always the perfect mix of sweet, creamy, and cool. Now, they’re my favorite guilt-free treat—simple to make, fun to share, and loved by all ages. Whether for a midday pick-me-up or dessert after dinner, these bites bring a little joy in every frozen chew!
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Ingredients
-
2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
-
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melt)
-
2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
-
Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or granola
Instructions
-
Line a tray with parchment paper.
-
Spread nut butter on half the banana slices, top with another slice to make “banana sandwiches.”
-
Freeze for 1 hour until firm.
-
Melt chocolate with coconut oil in microwave or double boiler.
-
Dip frozen banana bites halfway in chocolate, then add toppings.
-
Return to freezer for another 30 minutes or until set.
Notes
-
Use just-ripe bananas: Overripe ones can be too mushy and harder to handle when frozen.
-
Keep slices even: Uniform thickness helps them freeze and sandwich evenly.
-
Chill chocolate-dipped bananas on a wire rack for a neater finish and quicker setting.
-
Flavor boost: Add a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon to the chocolate for extra depth.
-
Make them dairy-free: Use vegan chocolate and almond or cashew butter.
-
Mini version: Use banana slices on toothpicks for single-bite party treats.
