# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit Base

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

→ Nut Butter Layer

02 - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
03 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil

05 - 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

# How To Make:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during freezing.
02 - Peel bananas and cut into 1/4-inch thick coins using a sharp knife.
03 - Place banana slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet, forming a rectangular shape for easier portioning later.
04 - Combine peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and coconut oil in a small bowl. Whist until completely smooth and spreadable.
05 - Gently spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over all banana slices using a spatula.
06 - Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

08 - Sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts and flaky sea salt over the chocolate while still wet.
09 - Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours until completely firm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No oven required means your kitchen stays cool even on the hottest days
  • The texture contrast between creamy peanut butter and icy bananas is absolutely addictive
  • It comes together in under fifteen minutes but tastes like you put in way more effort
02 -
  • Working quickly once you start spreading the peanut butter layer prevents the bananas from releasing too much moisture
  • If your peanut butter mixture feels too thick, zap it in the microwave for ten seconds and it'll become instantly manageable
  • The bark is best consumed straight from the freezer since it starts losing its structural integrity pretty quickly at room temperature
03 -
  • Freeze your baking sheet for fifteen minutes before starting to help everything set faster
  • Use an offset spatula if you have one since it creates the smoothest peanut butter layer
