Are you having some extra warm days? It’s quite warm and toasty here with a “real feel” temperature of 90 degrees. I’m sure other folks are even warmer! These warm days make us all want something cold to eat, right? So today I want to share a yummy suggestion for a frozen snack or dessert…Frozen Banana Bites!
You will need a banana, a cookie sheet or plate, waxed paper or parchment paper, toothpicks and an assortment of chocolate chips or peanut butter chips, sprinkles, crushed cereal, mini M&M’s, chocolate milk powder, etc.
Put a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper onto the cookie sheet. Cut the banana into thick slices.
Put a toothpick through each banana chunk, sideways.
Now it’s time to “decorate” each banana piece. 🙂 Here are some suggestions to try: putting candy sprinkles on both sides.
Crush a few pieces of a favorite cereal and coat the banana chunk with it. I used HoneyNut Cheerios.
Melt a few chocolate or peanut butter chips and stir in a little bit of coconut oil to make it thin enough to coat the banana chunk with it. I just put some on the top and sides of the banana, but you could probably dip the banana in the melted chocolate too.
I dipped this banana piece into Ovaltine which is a powdered chocolate mix for adding to milk,
This one has the melted chocolate and sprinkles on it.
For the last one, I used the melted chocolate and a miniature marshmallow.
Place the cookie sheet with the banana chunks into the freezer for about 1 hour. Then take them out and enjoy! The kids will have fun making them AND eating them! 😉
Stay cool, everyone! 🙂
