They may not look gorgeous, but these frozen dark chocolate covered chia flour banana bits are outrageously good. Inspired by the Trader Joe's version, these little bites will satisfy any sweet tooth. I pre-dipped the banana pieces into Cold Pressed White Chia Flour to add some extra fiber and make these a little healthier. For the chocolate, I used ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate baking chips and organic coconut oil — an easy and healthy alternative to using shortening in your dipping chocolate. You can also easy use vegan dark chocolate instead of 60% dark. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to make.
Ingredients:
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 package of ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons of Cold Pressed White Chia Flour (I order mine here)
Method:
• Cut up your three bananas into 3/4 inch slices.
• In a small saucepan, combine half of the package of chocolate chips and coconut oil. Cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Once chocolate is melted, dip each piece of banana in Cold Pressed White Chia Flour, and then dip in chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat until you have dipped all banana pieces. Place in the freezer for 1 hour to cool. Once cold, remove all banana pieces from the cookie sheet, and move into freezer safe container.
Enjoy!
