Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Equipment
- Mini muffin tin
- Paper or silicone mini muffin liners
- Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Line a mini muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. - Add the First Chocolate Layer:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth.
Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner, just enough to coat the base.
Place the tin in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set the chocolate. - Add the Peanut Butter and Banana:
Once the chocolate layer is set, add a small dollop of peanut butter to each liner, spreading it slightly.
Place a banana slice on top of the peanut butter. - Seal with Chocolate:
Spoon more melted chocolate over the banana slice, ensuring it’s fully covered. Gently tap the tin on the counter to remove air bubbles and smooth the chocolate. - Freeze:
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cup (if desired) and place the tin in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the cups are fully frozen. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once frozen, remove the cups from the liners and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- For a fun twist, add a sprinkle of crushed nuts or granola on top before freezing.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, mix a little honey or powdered sugar into the peanut butter before assembling.
- Let the cups sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
