Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1/2 cup almond butter (choose smooth or crunchy based on preference)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for a touch of indulgence)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for a healthier option)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the banana slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Make the Almond Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and honey (if you’re using it). Stir together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a delightful spread for your banana slices.

      Assemble the Delights: Take one slice of banana and generously spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the almond butter mixture on top. Place another banana slice on top to create a mini sandwich. Continue this process with the remaining banana slices until all have been used.

        Add Toppings: If you wish to include chocolate, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating them in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the banana sandwiches. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped nuts on top to ensure they stick before the chocolate hardens.

          Freeze the Delights: Carefully transfer the assembled banana sandwiches to the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the delights from the freezer and let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier eating. Enjoy these delightful bites as a quick snack or a healthy dessert option!
