Ladies (and gents), let’s talk about those late-night cravings that hit you when you’re binge-watching your favorite show. Instead of reaching for those chips that’ll just leave you feeling guilty, I’ve got a game-changing healthy midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds dance while keeping your waistline happy!
Let me introduce you to my Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Banana Bites with a sprinkle of magic (aka sea salt and crushed nuts). Trust me, this recipe is so good, you’ll want to share it with your bestie at 2 AM!
What you’ll need (because we’re fancy like that):
– 2 ripe bananas
– 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
– 2 tablespoons coconut oil
– A handful of crushed almonds or walnuts
– A pinch of sea salt
– Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon (because why not?)
Now, let’s get this party started! 🎉
1. Slice those bananas into cute little coins (about 1/2 inch thick) and pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes. Yes, patience is a virtue, honey!
1. While you’re waiting (maybe do a face mask?), melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. We don’t want burnt chocolate – that’s just sad.
Hey loves! Quick intermission – if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your kitchen the place to be! Now, back to our midnight masterpiece…
1. Once your banana slices are frozen, dip each piece halfway into the melted chocolate mixture. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
1. Sprinkle with crushed nuts and that fancy sea salt while the chocolate is still wet. Work fast, girlfriend – chocolate waits for no one!
1. Pop these babies back in the freezer for about 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
And voilà! You’ve got yourself a Pinterest-worthy, healthy snack that’s totally Instagram-able. Each bite is around 45 calories, packed with potassium, and contains heart-healthy dark chocolate. Plus, they’re naturally sweet without any added sugar – your skinny jeans will thank you later!
Store them in an airtight container in the freezer, if they even last that long (mine usually disappear within 24 hours, no shame!).
Y’all, I can’t wait to hear how these turned out for you! Drop a comment below and let me know if you added your own twist to the recipe. And don’t forget to follow me on Newsbreak for more delicious recipes that’ll make your kitchen the hottest spot in town!
P.S. If you’re making these at midnight like me, try not to wake up your entire household with excitement. But if you do, at least you’ll have enough to share! 😉
Now go forth and snack responsibly, my beautiful food lovers! 💋
