These chocolate peanut butter banana bites are made from just four ingredients and are guilt-free as well. Just keep them in the freezer and eat when one when you want.
Happy New Year! It’s all about eating healthy in January so of course I share a dessert/snack! But not just any dessert, a dessert that actually is healthy! And make no mistake – these chocolate peanut butter banana bites couldn’t be easier to make.
I don’t know many people who don’t like chocolate. And for the 99% of people who love chocolate, most love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. When eating these, for some reason it took me back to dipping bananas in chocolate fondue. Yes I know that seems like a far stretch but really the only time I’ve ever had chocolate and banana together would be with fondue. Yes there is peanut butter in the middle but that makes them even better. This simple dessert is a guilt-free way to enjoy the combination. Oh and did I mention this couldn’t be easier to make?
Really the only issue with these frozen chocolate banana bites is after having one, you might want more! But remember we’re trying to be healthy so it’s all about moderation! But hey if you sneak more than one, I don’t blame you! They can be quite hard to resist. Hope you enjoy.

Not a problem. I realize peanut butter allergies are pretty high these days. You can easily replace the peanut butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter or cookie butter – yes I said cookie butter!
