These little banana bites filled with peanut butter and covered in chocolate are a great snack or dessert for the warmer weather
These little frozen banana bites are really cute and tasty. They're fun to eat, too.
I based my recipe on one from Yummy Mummy Kitchen.
I made a smaller batch because I only had two bananas and needed the other one to make the Peanut Butter Banana Cookies from last week.
I also didn't add any extra sugar or sugar substitute in the peanut butter yogurt mixture because I didn't think it needed it since the bananas were sweet already.
A tiny pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract help bring out the sweetness as well.
These are great afternoon snacks or desserts, especially now that the weather is getting warmer.
I popped a few in my mouth after getting home from a long walk and they were perfect!
They keep well in the freezer for about a month, so you can double the recipe and keep a big batch when a craving for something sweet strikes.
Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Bites
Ingredients
- 2 bananas sliced {cut each banana into 16 slices}
- 3 tablespoon peanut butter {or any nut butter}
- 2 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Put 16 mini-muffin liners in a mini-muffin tin. Arrange 16 banana slices in the muffin tin. Set aside.
- Stir together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Put about 1 teaspoon of mixture on each of the banana slices in the muffin tins. Top with another slice of banana.
- Put chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 25 seconds. Stir and repeat in 25 second intervals until smooth.
- Drizzle about 1 to 2 teaspoon chocolate onto each banana bite, letting it drip off the sides. Put in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving. Keep covered in a tightly covered container in the freezer for up to 1 month.

When I saw frozen banana bites in my twitter feed, I just had to click to see who was having the same treat :))) yours are much prettier however, and I love that you lined them in muffin cups. I also just used PB with no mix-ins. Next time I'm trying it your way :))
