Description
Craving a candy bar but don’t want the sugar crash? These Frozen Banana Snickers are the perfect guilt-free hack. Imagine creamy peanut butter layered on naturally sweet bananas, topped with crunchy peanuts, then finished with a silky drizzle of melted dark chocolate. They taste indulgent but are actually sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and totally vegan. The best part? You only need a few minutes to make them, then let the freezer do the rest.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium bananas – just ripe, not mushy
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter – smooth or crunchy, your call
- 4–5 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, melted
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil – helps the chocolate melt beautifully
- 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts – roasted or raw
- Sea salt – just a tiny pinch for balance
Instructions
- Prep the Bananas
- Peel your bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise. Then cut each half in two so you end up with 8 flat banana pieces. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the slices on top.
- Add the Peanut Butter Layer
- Spread a nice, even coat of peanut butter over each banana slice. Don’t be stingy—you want that nutty flavor in every bite.
- Top It Off
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the peanut butter, then lightly dust with sea salt. This salty-sweet combo is what makes these bars so addictive.
- Melt the Chocolate
- Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each round, until you have a smooth, pourable chocolate sauce.
- Finish and Freeze
- Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over your banana-peanut butter slices. Pop the tray in the freezer for at least an hour, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
Notes
- Serve them straight from the freezer. They soften quickly once out at room temperature, so grab and munch right away.
- For extra fun, dip the whole banana slice in chocolate instead of just drizzling—it makes them feel like actual candy bars.
- These will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container.
