We’ve been working with almond flour in muffins and cookies as a means of reducing carbohydrates. JQ landed on this recipe … OK, this might not be the “healthiest” snack… but not the worst either.
You can use any nut butter. We chose peanut butter as the underlayer. We microwaved chocolate chips to make melting the chocolate easier. Slowly heating the chocolate while stirring puts it into temper, giving it a shiny appearance. We used milk chocolate, but I think that a quality semi-sweet would be really good.
Frozen bites of chocolate enrobed banana pieces are a treat on a summer day and hopefully, a bit of a healthy one at that.
