Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

½ cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (vegan alternative)

½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp sea salt

½ cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate for a vegan option)

1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for melting the chocolate)

Chopped nuts or coconut flakes (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.

    Make the Almond Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Assemble the Delights: Using a spoon, spread a generous amount of the almond butter mixture onto half of the banana slices. Top with the remaining banana slices to create little sandwiches.

        Freeze the Sandwiches: Place the banana sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until completely frozen.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

            Dip the Delights: Remove the frozen banana sandwiches from the freezer. Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.

              Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top of the chocolate-dipped sandwiches before the chocolate sets.

                Final Freeze: Place the chocolate-coated banana delights back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once set, store the Frozen Banana Almond Butter Delights in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy straight from the freezer whenever you're craving a sweet and healthy treat!
