This recipe is a wonderful way to use up bananas if you feel you have too many. I would advise making these when the bananas are still a bit hard, as they are easier to roll if they aren't so soft.. Not only are they really simple to make, but they are a healthy treat to take with you on the go, or to have when you are craving something sweet. They are gluten free and vegan friendly which is an added bonus!
This recipe makes 6-8 small bites. You can cut the bananas to whatever size you would like, but I wanted something I could eat in a few bites. I also used coconut almond butter as I found a brand I really like (Pip&Nut), but you could use whatever flavoured nut butter you like!
You will need:
2 bananas
2-3 tbsp of coconut almond butter
A drizzle of maple syrup/honey/agave, or whatever you have to hand to add a bit of sweetness.
A handful of your favourite granola (gluten free friendly for those who are making it GF)
Some lollipop sticks (I didn't have any so I used toothpicks.. not very sturdy but they did the trick)
As you can see there are not many ingredients, so it really is very simple! Mix your nut butter in a bowl with a drizzle of your preferred sweetener, I used some agave syrup. Next place your granola into a flat dish, or plate, easy to roll the bananas around in.
Cut up your bananas to your desired eating size, place a lollipop stick or toothpick into the banana and then use a knife to spread the nut butter evenly over the bananas so they are coated. Next roll them in the granola, place on a plate spaced out and leave them in the freezer for about 2 hours until they are frozen. Once they are frozen you can place them all in a ziploc bag and leave in the freezer until you are ready to grab one to eat. Really easy to do, and in no time you have a healthy on the go snack or dessert!
