Frozen Banana Split Bites
Servings: 24 Bites
Calories: 55kcal
Ingredients
For the bites:
- 1/3 cup of water
- ¼ cup raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
- 4 medium ripe bananas peeled and cut into 1-inch slices (about 6 slices per banana)
- Chopped pecans or walnuts for sprinkling
For the chocolate drizzle:
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
Instructions
Make the coating for the bites:
- In a high speed blender such as Vita Mix, blend the water, cashews, honey, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. (See note at end of recipe if you don’t have a high speed blender). Pour into a small pot and add the coconut oil. Place the pot over low heat and whisk constantly until the oil is completely melted into the cream. Transfer the mixture into a shallow bowl.
- Dip the banana slices in the cream mixture to coat. Set the coated slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle them with the chopped nuts.
Make the chocolate drizzle:
- In a small pot over very low heat, whisk together the chocolate, honey, and coconut oil until melted and smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate sauce over the bites. Place the pan in the freezer and chill the bites until solid, 1-2 hours. Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer between sheets of paper.
Notes
Note: If you don’t have a high speed-blender to make the coating, first grind the cashews in a coffee grinder until powdered. Blend the powder with the other ingredients as directed in a blender or food processor.
