When preparing your Choco-Banana Bliss Bites, it's essential to ensure that you make the most of your ingredients while minimizing waste. Start by selecting ripe bananas, as they not only enhance the flavor but are also easier to mash. To ensure even coverage when dipping the bites in chocolate, use a fork to hold the banana mixture while drizzling the melted chocolate over it. This method allows you to control the amount of chocolate you use and prevents excess from pooling at the bottom.

Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Make the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until it forms a smooth, thick paste.

      Coat the Banana Rounds: Using a small spoon or a spatula, dollop a generous amount of the chocolate mixture onto each banana slice, spreading it evenly.

        Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or dairy-free chocolate chips on top of the coated banana rounds for added texture and flavor.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours or until the chocolate coating is firm and the banana rounds are frozen solid.

            Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy these frozen delights as a healthy snack or a dessert!
