Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, peeled

1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (use maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting the chocolate)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and placing them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them until they reach a smooth consistency, ensuring there are no large lumps.

    Combine the Ingredients: To the smooth banana mash, add the peanut butter, rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything together thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a sticky, cohesive mixture.

      Form the Bites: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your hands to form small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place these bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Freeze the Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bites to freeze for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until they are firm to the touch.

          Prepare the Chocolate Coating (Optional): If you choose to coat the bites in chocolate, place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between intervals until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

            Coat the Bites: Remove the frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated bites back on the lined baking sheet.

              Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set hard.

                Serve & Store: Once the chocolate has solidified, transfer the Peanut Butter Banana Bliss Bites to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer and enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer whenever you need a quick, nourishing snack!

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 3 hours (including freezing) | Servings: Approximately 12 bites

                    - Serving Suggestion: For an added touch, sprinkle some crushed nuts or sea salt on top of the chocolate-coated bites before freezing to enhance their flavor and texture!
