Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted dark chocolate (70% or higher) 🍫 – Rich in antioxidants and lower in sugar.

  • Toppings (Get Creative!)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter 🥜 – Adds healthy fats and protein to keep you full longer.

  • 1 tbsp chopped walnuts 🟤 – Boosts omega-3s and provides crunch.

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds ⚫ – A superfood loaded with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut 🥥 – For a tropical twist and a dose of healthy fats.

  • 1 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries – Tangy and colorful, packed with vitamin C.

Instructions 📝

  • Prep the Bananas 🍌
    Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds. Lay them flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Melt the Chocolate 🍫
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
    ✨ Pro Tip: Add 1 tsp of coconut oil to the chocolate for a shinier finish and easier spreading.
  • Assemble the Bark 🌀
    Use a spoon to drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the banana slices. Cover them generously!
    Sprinkle your chosen toppings evenly across the chocolate-covered bananas.
  • Freeze It ❄️
    Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate hardens.
  • Break and Serve ✨
    Once frozen, remove the sheet from the freezer. Gently break apart the banana bark into bite-sized pieces.
