Frozen Dark Chocolate Banana Bites
This easy 3-ingredient recipe combines the fertility-boosting benefits of bananas, dark chocolate, and walnuts into a delicious frozen treat. Each ingredient is packed with nutrients that support male reproductive health while satisfying your sweet tooth!
Ingredients (Serves 1-2; yields 30-40 pieces)
- 3 ripened bananas, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick pieces, frozen
- 1 dark chocolate bar (3.5 oz, 70% cacao recommended) or substitute with milk chocolate
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
Instructions
-
Prepare the Bananas. Peel and slice the bananas into 1-inch thick rounds. Lay them on a wax paper-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour.
-
Melt the Chocolate. Chop the chocolate bar into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Mix in the melted coconut oil until smooth.
-
Assemble the Bites. Remove frozen banana slices from the freezer. Using skewers or forks, dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place the chocolate-coated banana on wax paper and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
-
Repeat and Set. Continue until all banana pieces are coated and topped with walnuts. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or return the bites to the freezer for storage.
-
Serve. Eat immediately for a softer texture or store in the freezer. If too hard, leave them out at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly.
