Description
Craving something sweet but want to keep it light? These frozen banana Snickers are banana halves slathered in nut butter, topped with crunchy peanuts and sealed with a dark chocolate coating. They’re naturally plant-based, gluten-free, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 4 tbsp peanut butter (or your favorite nut/seed butter)
- 4–5 tbsp dark chocolate, melted
- 1/4 tsp coconut oil (helps the chocolate melt smoothly)
- 3 tbsp chopped peanuts (or other chopped nuts/seeds)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel each banana and slice each in half lengthwise. Cut each long half into two pieces so you end up with 8 long banana slabs. Arrange them on the prepared tray.
- Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter over each banana piece, covering the top fully.
- Scatter chopped peanuts over the peanut-butter layer and add a tiny pinch of sea salt to amplify the flavor.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between bursts, until the chocolate is fully melted and glossy.
- Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over each banana slice, covering the peanut butter. For full coverage, dunk each piece; for a lighter shell, drizzle instead.
- Freeze the tray for at least 60 minutes, or until the chocolate has set solid.
Notes
- Serving & storage
- Enjoy these straight from the freezer for best texture — they thaw fast! Store leftover bars in a single layer or separated by parchment in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months.
- Quick tips
- Use bananas that are ripe but still firm so the pieces hold their shape.
- Work quickly with the melted chocolate; it firms fast on cold fruit.
- Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter to suit allergies.
