Banana Split Bites! 

Angela at ohsheglows.com never disappoints…this recipe is proof! 

At just 40 calories per bite, these little banana splits are a healthy snack or dessert that is perfect for the warmer Spring and Summer months coming!

Yield: 20 bites Banana Split Bites

Ingredients:

• 2 medium bananas, peeled & cut into 10 pieces each
• 2-3 strawberries, cut in half and sliced to make 20 pieces

• 6 tbsp dark chocolate chips (non-diary) or unsweetened baking chocolate (to go sugar free)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (see tips below)
• drippy Nut butter, to drizzle on (optional)
• 1.5 tbsp shredded coconut
• 2 tbsp finely chopped walnuts

 

1. Place 20 mini cupcake liners on a small baking sheet. Slice bananas and place 1 piece into each. Do the same for the strawberries.

2. In a small pot on the stovetop or in a microwave, melt the chocolate and coconut oil on low. Remove from heat and stir well to melt the remaining chunks.

3. Make a workstation with the bites, melted chocolate, coconut, walnuts, and optional nut butter. Spoon on 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate onto a bite and gently spread out. Drizzle on nut butter (optional). Quickly sprinkle with coconut and walnuts. Repeat for the remaining 19 bites.

4. Freeze for a minimum of 15 minutes. If they are in the freezer for a long time and freeze solid, let them sit on the counter for about 15 minutes to soften up a bit. I put mine in a Tupperware container for storage.
