Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)

Instructions

- Prepare the Peanut Butter: Spread a generous amount of peanut butter on the flat side of one banana slice, then top it with another slice to create a sandwich.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the banana sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 1-2 hours until firm.
- Optional Chocolate Coating: If using chocolate, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each frozen banana bite into the chocolate, then return to the baking sheet.
- Final Freeze: Place the coated bites back in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate, if using.
