Banana and Dark Chocolate Bites
A simple, healthy treat for toddlers, these Banana and Dark Chocolate Bites offer the natural sweetness of bananas with a hint of dark chocolate. Perfect for a quick snack or a dessert, they are easy to make and toddler-approved.
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe Bananas Large
- 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate 70% at least
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into half-inch thick rounds.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Dip Banana Slices: Dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, coating half or the whole slice, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve: Once set, serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality dark chocolate with minimal added sugars for a healthier option.
- Ensure the banana slices are not too thin to prevent them from breaking when dipped in chocolate.
- This recipe is intended for toddlers over one year old. Always supervise young children while eating.
- You may add some peanut butter to the mix (we love it)
- Sprinkle some coconut flakes if you want!
