Upgrade chocolate covered bananas to Frozen Almond Banana Bites for a treat loaded with healthy antioxidants!

These Frozen Almond Banana Bites couldn’t be easier to make! Dark chocolate, sliced bananas, and a bit of almond butter create a quick frozen dessert. Enjoy it as a cool snack on a hot day or share it with guests for a fun party treat.

Dark chocolate packs in plenty of antioxidants into every bite. Melt it with coconut oil to create a thin sauce you can use as the chocolate coating. Added almond butter creates a nutty “glue” to keep the banana slices together and to increase the level of creaminess.

Chopped nuts and shredded coconut make up the topping choices for these bites. Choose between a crunchy blend of nuts (pecans, hazelnuts, and almonds go great) or use shredded coconut for an extra tropical vibe. Or, do both!

To get started, slice each banana into half-inch rounds. Sandwich the almond butter between two banana rounds and insert a popsicle stick into the center. Tip: Press gently to avoid having the almond butter spill out from the sides. Repeat for all remaining slices and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Pop them into the freezer for one hour, or until they are fully frozen.

When ready, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil using a double boiler. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes and work quickly to dip each “bite” into the melted chocolate and toppings. Note: You may need to reheat the chocolate once or twice during the dipping process. Transfer the bites back into the freezer and let them chill for one hour. Serve and enjoy!
