Banana Week; Chocolate Banana Bites

Happy Hump day! It is day three of my little banana week. Hope you aren't sick of bananas yet! Today I have a little sweet snack that would be a great thing to take to a potluck dessert or just to keep in your fridge for a quick sweet bite. 

This recipe could also be used with real chocolate if you are a lucky one and can enjoy dairy. I envy you every day! If you haven't noticed, this week is also about simplicity. Sometimes I get caught up in creating some crazy recipe that I forget how important simple recipes are. It is so helpful to keep simple recipes in the back of your mind so that if someone gives you little to no notice they are dropping in, you are able to throw something together to offer them when they come by. I am all about entertaining! That was one of the deciding factors when we were looking for a house to buy. It had to be a space where we could entertain our friends. 

Hubs and I believe spending time with friends keeps you balanced and happy.  I know your friends would love these bites of deliciousness so go ahead and share some! One thing about this recipe, if I have time, I freeze the bananas to make the bananas easier to handle. 

Chocolate Banana Bites
GF/DF

Ingredients: 

2 medium bananas (frozen if you have time)
1/3 cup DF/GF chocolate chips
1/4 cup GF almond butter
finely chopped pecans

Slice your bananas into 1/4 inch hick pieces.

Add almond butter to half of your banana slices.

Place another slice of banana on top of the almond butter covered pieces.

Melt your chocolate over a double boiler. If you don't' have a double boiler, you can use the microwave but be SUPER careful not to overcook the chocolate. You can also use a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. 




Drizzle chocolate over the banana, almond butter sandwiches. 


While the chocolate is still hot, sprinkle with pecan pieces.



Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before eating. Store the sandwiches in the fridge.

Thanks Y'all!
