Ingredients:
2 ripe, but firm bananas
2 tablespoons of creamy natural peanut butter (only peanuts and salt)
2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions:
Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds, creating uniform slices for even sandwiches.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread about 1 teaspoon of creamy natural peanut butter on one banana slice, then top it with another slice to form a mini sandwich. Repeat this process until all slices are paired up.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle or Dip: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over each banana sandwich. For an extra indulgent touch, dip half of each sandwich directly into the chocolate.
Freeze to Set: Arrange the banana sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the freezer. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and the bananas are firm.
Tips for Perfect Wholeness Bites:
Select bananas that are just ripe for the perfect balance of sweetness and firmness. Avoid overly soft bananas as they may be too mushy.
Choose a creamy natural peanut butter made with just peanuts (and a pinch of salt if desired) to keep it clean and healthy.
Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more satisfying flavor. Aim for at least 70% cacao for a good balance of taste and antioxidants.
