Ingredient Spotlight
What bananas are best for banana bites?
I recommend using ripe bananas that have a few or several brown spots. However, they should be firm and not “soggy”.
Storage Tips
Keep frozen banana bites in a freezer-safe container or bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. It may help to let them sit at room temperature for a minute or so before consuming.
Did you know it’s easy to freeze bananas? We keep frozen bananas in the freezer at all times, especially for making our green smoothies.
Marly’s Tips
When you come to the curve in the banana, cut and discard (or eat) an angled sliver to keep the banana slices even. These even slices will create symmetrical treats that look stunning and taste delicious!

Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas , peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Slice the bananas into ¼-inch slices, keeping them as level as possible. Place a piece of waxed paper on a tray that will fit in your freezer.
Spread a small amount of peanut butter onto half of the banana slices.
Sandwich the peanut butter-covered slices with the remaining banana slices to form "banana bites." Place the banana bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour Place these on the prepared tray and freeze for 10 or 15 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Dip each frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate, using a fork to fully coat.
Return the chocolate-covered banana bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Enjoy your delicious frozen banana bites straight from the freezer! They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
