When that after-dinner sweet tooth hits, chocolate-covered bananas are one of my favorite ways to answer it — creamy, chocolatey, and just three simple plant-based ingredients.
I love chocolate just as much as the next person (probably more!). These days we can find good, dark, non-dairy chocolate in a regular grocery store and adding that to bananas or strawberries is so much yum.
These Chocolate-Covered Bananas taste like dessert, but they’re made with real food that actually loves you back.
They’re perfect for keeping in the freezer, sharing with friends, or enjoying after a summer walk or cozy dinner. You can even turn them into ghosts for a fun, healthy (ish) Halloween candy.
No refined sugar, no dairy, and no crash — just pure, satisfying goodness.
Pro Tip
Add a drizzle of melted peanut butter or almond butter before freezing for extra richness and healthy fats.
