Method

Preparation

Prepare your workspace and tools by washing countertops and utensils.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Banana Preparation

Peel the bananas and slice them into thick coins about 1/2 inch thick.
Arrange the banana coins in a single layer on the baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes.

Toppings Preparation

Measure the peanut butter and chop the peanuts.
Prepare any optional add-ins.

Assembly

Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter on each banana coin.
Sprinkle each coin with chopped peanuts and sea salt, if desired.

Chocolate Coating

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over each banana bite or dip the tops into the chocolate.

Freezing

Return the tray to the freezer for 30-60 minutes until the chocolate is set.

Serving

Let the bites sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
Store leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For best texture, allow bites to soften slightly before serving. Always check ingredient labels for gluten-free certification and cross-contamination warnings.
