Chocolate Bananas

I have yet to meet a kid who doesn't love these.

These are so easy to make and taste great either completely frozen or just slightly chilled, so they can be prepared and served for a last-minute sweet treat for your little one (or for you!). Try dressing them up with nuts, dairy-free ice cream or dairy-free whipped cream for a truly special dessert!

Serves 4 kids

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large bananas
  • 2 T. cocoa powder
  • 5 T. honey
  • 4 ½ T. Tahini

Preparation:

1. Line a small pan, plate or baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Slice the bananas in half length-wise, and then again in half horizonally, so that you have eight pieces of banana.

3. In a small bowl, mix together remaining ingredients until well combined.

4. Place bananas on prepared sheet or plate. Spread a small amount of chocolate spread in between the "halves" of banana and pour the rest over the outside of the bananas, turning to coat. Place bananas in the freezer for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Serve with nuts, dairy-free ice cream, dairy-free whipped cream or powdered sugar if desired.
