Steps
- 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- 2
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey until smooth and well combined.
- 3
Optional: Stir chia seeds into the peanut butter and honey mixture for added texture and nutrition.
- 4
Spread a small amount of the peanut butter mixture onto each banana slice.
- 5
Top each peanut butter-coated banana slice with a few dark chocolate chips.
- 6
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top of each banana bite to enhance the flavors.
- 7
Arrange the prepared banana bites on a plate and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 5-10 minutes for a slightly firmer texture.
Tips from the Chef
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and soft texture.
If desired, melt the dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the banana bites instead of placing chips whole for a different presentation.
For a crunchy variation, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top.
Serve immediately to prevent bananas from browning; refrigerate briefly if you want a cooler dessert.
Adjust honey amount based on sweetness preference and ripeness of bananas.
This dessert is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by ensuring honey is replaced with maple syrup if desired.
