Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them into small, even rounds.
- Arrange the banana slices on a parchment-lined tray, spacing them so they do not touch.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over each banana slice and gently press them in so they stick.
- Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for 2–3 hours until firm.
- Once frozen, transfer the banana bites to an airtight container or freezer bag.
- Store in the freezer and serve slightly thawed for the best texture.
Notes
- Use ripe or slightly overripe bananas for better sweetness and creaminess.
- Mini chocolate chips stick better than regular-sized chips.
- Add peanut butter drizzle, cinnamon, or crushed nuts for variation.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
- Let sit a few minutes at room temperature before eating for softer texture.
