Description
Frozen Banana Coins are a simple, healthy, and fun snack made by slicing bananas into coins and freezing them. These naturally sweet treats are perfect for hot days, as a dessert, or as a base for smoothies and yogurt toppings.
Ingredients
– 4 large ripe bananas
– Parchment paper
– A large baking sheet
– Chocolate (optional, for dipping)
– Toppings (optional, e.g., chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick coins.
- If using, lightly toss the banana coins in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange the banana coins in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.
- Transfer the frozen banana coins to a freezer-safe bag or container for storage.
- Serve frozen as a snack, or use in smoothies, yogurt, or as a topping for oatmeal.
- If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate or peanut butter before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture.
- For a chocolate-covered version, dip the frozen coins in melted chocolate and refreeze.
- These can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Add to smoothies for a creamy, cold texture without diluting the flavor.
