These creamy frozen banana bites with chocolate and nuts are a quick, easy, and wholesome snack perfect for summer parties, kids’ treats, or guilt-free indulgence. They combine ripe bananas, rich dark chocolate, and crunchy nuts for a deliciously satisfying bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • ½ cup (about 60g) mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans), roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut oil
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas into ½-inch thick rounds. Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they’re not touching. Freeze for about 1 hour until firm but not rock hard.
  2. Melt 1 cup (170g) of dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon (15ml) of coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Roughly chop ½ cup (60g) of mixed nuts and set aside in a shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each frozen banana slice into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  5. Sprinkle or press the chopped nuts onto the chocolate-coated banana slice.
  6. Place each coated banana bite back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours to set completely.
  7. Transfer bites to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to enjoy. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on each bite before serving.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and creaminess. Freeze banana slices twice: first plain, then after coating with chocolate to ensure a crisp shell. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning. Rough chop nuts for best texture. If chocolate hardens too quickly while dipping, warm gently again. Store bites in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They keep well for up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
