Ingredient Notes
- Bananas: You'll want to use ripe, fresh bananas (but not over-ripe) for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Peanut butter: Creamy, salty peanut butter works best. You can swap in almond butter or sunflower seed butter if needed.
- Chocolate chips: Dark chocolate chips give the richest flavor, but any chocolate coating works.
- Coconut oil: Helps the chocolate melt smoothly and set with a glossy finish.
- Optional toppings: Crushed crunchy peanuts or roasted peanuts, coconut, crushed Oreos, or even a drizzle of date caramel or vegan caramel for extra sweetness. You can find our date caramel recipe on our easy caramel apple nachos recipe.
