Ingredients & Substitutions

The printable recipe card below has the full ingredients list and instructions.

  • Bananas – use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture. Overripe bananas may become too mushy when frozen.
  • Peanut Butter – smooth peanut butter is preferred for this recipe as it’s easier to spread across the bananas. You can swap out peanut butter for almond butter or your favourite nut butter!
  • Chocolate – choose your favourite chocolate! Dark, milk, or white chocolate all work well. If you prefer a lower-sugar option, opt for sugar-free or dark chocolate with high cocoa content.
  • Sea Salt – a light sprinkle enhances the flavours of peanut butter and chocolate. You can also use flaky salt for a more delicate crunch or omit it if you prefer a less salty-sweet combination.

Variations

  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter and sprinkle crushed almonds on top.
  • Use melted white chocolate instead of dark and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
  • Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to the melted dark chocolate.
  • Replace peanut butter with hazelnut spread and top with chopped hazelnuts.
  • Spread cashew butter over the bananas and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon.
  • Add a mix of dried fruit, seeds, and chopped nuts on top before freezing.

How to Make Banana Bark

Step 1: Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cut the bananas into even slices, then arrange them on the baking sheet so the sides are touching.

Step 3: Spread the peanut butter evenly over the banana slices, ensuring they are fully covered.

Step 4: In a microwave-safe dish, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 5: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 6: Place the tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the bananas are fully frozen. Once set, break the bark into pieces using your hands or a knife—though using your hands is often the easiest way.

How To Store

Freeze – To store your banana bark, keep it in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. It will stay fresh for up to 1 month before the bananas start to change texture a bit. Let it sit at room temperature for a minute or two before enjoying it!
