These low calorie frozen banana Snickers are a guilt-free, easy dessert featuring creamy banana slices, peanut butter, and a snappy chocolate shell. Naturally gluten-free and endlessly customizable, they’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the extra calories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 ripe but firm bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 1/4 cup (60g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 3.5 oz (100g) dark chocolate (70% or higher), or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1–2 teaspoons (5-10ml) coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Peel bananas and slice into thick 1/2-inch coins. Lay out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. In a small bowl, mix peanut butter with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Dollop about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture onto half the banana slices. Top with another banana coin to make sandwiches.
  3. Press a few chopped roasted peanuts into the peanut butter layer before sandwiching, or sprinkle on top after dipping in chocolate.
  4. Freeze the banana sandwiches on the tray for 45-60 minutes, or until firm.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  6. Using a fork, dip each frozen banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back onto the lined tray. Sprinkle with extra chopped peanuts or flaky sea salt if desired.
  7. Return the tray to the freezer for 10-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  8. Let the frozen banana Snickers sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before eating for the best creamy bite.

Notes

For best results, use slightly underripe bananas for easy handling. Work quickly when dipping in chocolate, as the frozen bananas will harden the shell fast. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Easily adapt with different nut or seed butters, or add toppings like toasted coconut or pretzels for variety.
