What Are Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites?

Are Peanut Butter Banana Bites Healthy?
You might see these ingredients and think that chocolate peanut butter banana bites are too good to be healthy, but because this recipe uses natural peanut butter and a small amount of dark chocolate chips, the sugar amount on these peanut butter banana bites is shockingly low.
Not only that, but their small size makes these chocolate-covered banana bites a low-calorie goodie that you’ll feel great about when serving them to the kids. And let’s not forget the star ingredient, banana!
Bananas contain many important nutrients like potassium, vitamin C, magnesium, fiber, vitamin B6, and protein. Not only that, but the fiber in bananas is great for your digestive system!
How To Make Chocolate Covered Banana Bites
Peanut butter banana bites are not only easy to make, but they’re equally as fun to put together! Who doesn’t love slapping together a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Well, this is like that, but better!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 scoop Super Youth Chocolate Cake collagen
Steps
- Peel and slice bananas into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Line a platter or small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter on a banana slice and top with another banana slice to make a little banana peanut butter sandwich. Place bites on two parchment lined platters or plates and place in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour.
- Melt your chocolate by adding chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and microwave in additional 30 second increments until chocolate is completely melted.
- Once chocolate is melted, mix in the Super Youth Chocolate Cake collagen. Dip each frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate collagen so that half of each bite is coated. You can coat the full bite with chocolate, but you’ll need more chocolate chips if you want to do this.
- Place chocolate covered bites back on the parchment lined platter and freeze for an additional 15 minutes.
