Chocolate peanut butter banana bites

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe banana (about 1/2 cup mashed)
• 6 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup finely ground almond flour
• 5 to 6 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil
• Flaky salt or chopped peanuts, optional

Directions

1. 1

   Line a plate that fits in your freezer with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Mash the banana until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla.

3. 3

   Mix in the almond flour and 5 tablespoons coconut flour. The mixture should be soft but firm enough to roll. Add the final tablespoon of coconut flour if it is too wet; add a little more mashed banana if it becomes crumbly.

4. 4

   Lightly oil your hands and roll the mixture into 16 small balls. Set them on the prepared plate and freeze briefly while you melt the chocolate.

5. 5

   Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.

6. 6

   Use two forks to dip each bite in chocolate. Return it to the parchment and add flaky salt or chopped peanuts while the coating is still wet.

7. 7

   Freeze for 10 to 12 minutes, until the chocolate sets. Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
