Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1/2 cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy based on your preference)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a rich touch)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for a healthier option)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Make the Almond Butter Spread: In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond butter with honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Assemble the Delights: Take one banana slice and use a spoon to spread about 1 teaspoon of the almond butter mixture on top. Place another banana slice on top, forming a mini sandwich. Repeat this step until you’ve used all the banana slices.

        Add Toppings: If you’re using dark chocolate, melt it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled banana sandwiches. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

          Freeze: Transfer the assembled delights to the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are solid and have set completely.

            Serve: Once frozen, take the delights out of the freezer. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to bite into. Enjoy these delicious bites as a quick snack or a healthy, satisfying dessert!
