Equipment
- 1 food processor
- 1 microwave-safe bowl
- 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup can be omitted or swapped for agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Chopped nuts or sprinkles optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Slice bananas into 1/2-inch thick pieces and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 1 hour until firm.
- Blend frozen banana slices with Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop the banana mixture into bite-sized rounds on the parchment-lined tray using a spoon or cookie scoop.
- Freeze the bites for at least 2 hours until fully firm.
- Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the frozen banana bites and add optional nuts or sprinkles quickly before the chocolate sets.
- Return the bites to the freezer for 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
- Serve the frozen banana split bites straight from the freezer.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best creaminess.
- Freeze banana slices before blending to avoid ice crystals.
- Mix coconut oil with chocolate for a glossy finish.
- Work quickly when drizzling chocolate to prevent fast hardening.
- Store leftovers in airtight container in freezer up to 2 weeks.
- Let soften 5 minutes before serving; avoid microwaving after freezing.
